that is what i thought untill then the gun club will no longer allow me up there untill its all sorted so im stuck with plinking in the garden

well rang dorset firearms this morning to be told i have to ring the disclosure unit so i phoned them they said i need to fill out a sa1 and sa1/1 with a £10.00 fee to get a copy of what ever they may or in this case not hold about be so this still doesnt help in getting my rifle club membership

Maybe spend 20 odd quid on Sacs and ask them to sort it?

 

Well done Fuzzy

 

Cheers, D.

why are you posting this in the "young hunters section"? when you say you have kids and your profile states you are 27

[dorsetchap.22 14]

mainly because im a begginer

I know this sounds stupid, maybe I am missing something, why are you fighting for your ex's, kids are they not yours as well,

Just a word of warning on this, the BASC generally won't help with any issue that started BEFORE the membership did. Don't know about SACS but I imagine thats the same.

 

That said, SACS is well worth joining if you get this sorted.

 

Just wondering, have the police ever had a call out to a domestic between you and your ex even if no-one was charged?

Now that Is just what I was thinking, I would imagine (assuming you are not withholding something from us) that the police feel that if you had access to firearms you may be a danger to your ex, that is really all it can be, unless as I said you have a skeleton hiding in the closet?
