RemyBolt 420 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Congrats. Same question as Doie1, how long did it take to come through? Quote Link to post
tillbrook 24 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well it took five weeks for them to send my apps back stating one of my refs didnt suit criteria. Then after getting another ref about three weeks so around 8 in total with two permissions to shoot on. Have you guys applied? 1 Quote Link to post

Yes, I have my shotgun already but have applied for my FAC had my "interview" 2 weeks last Monday with no problems and was told to expect it within 2-3weeks so I hope I don't have too much longer to wait it's driving me mad! I'm in cornwall Quote Link to post
Lelandsdad1 4 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Did they tell you why the ref wasn't anygood Quote Link to post
tillbrook 24 Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Never mate never asked because they sent a spare form and blanked my photograph off telling me to get another within 14 days so they could send me my licence so obviously I just got it sorted. I have just bought a .22 brno mod1 and off out in the morning for my first shoot so early night for me lol Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 The brno's are great rifles I have the model 2 and love it Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I would guess that maybe one of your referees unbeknown to you, had convictions, either numerous petty or at least one serious, but who knows. It could have be a range of different reasons eg convictions, mental illness, jobs held etc. Congratulations on getting it through in any event. Quote Link to post
