If you FLO eats biscuits like mine does,you are best off hiding them,mine can finish a pack of custard creams off in no time .

They will just come out check your security for the gun,ask a few simple question like where you will shoot,what you will be shooting,ask about your keys, then finish your biscuits and then go .If he is satisfied with everything your SC should arrive in about 1-2 weeks.

All the best with it anyway mate,let us know how you get on

Mine asked me a couple of safety questions- asking about climbing fences with loaded guns etc, and talked about identyfying quarry and not taking daft shots. Good luck.

Well, that wasn't too bad. Just a couple of security issues to sort out (and my lack of experience......).

I think I sent if off on the 22nd of August. I had the home visit towards the end of October and then another last Thursday (to check the window locks). Not bad I thought!!

Mine took 3 weeks exactly, from handing in the forms at the polic station to the certificate arriving through my letterbox.
