Thrush 181 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 What the hell is going on with firearms departments these days, sent for mine months ago now and not heard a thing but they took the money within two weeks! Is a fkn joke, nowhere else would you pay for something and wait months for it! Quote Link to post

timmy k 591 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I sent off my sgc about 3 weeks ago, recieved an envelope in the post from them with a storage safety leaflet and a letter asking me for a letter off the land owner where I'm going to shoot ??? I wasn't aware you had to provide this information for a shotgun and have tried phoning to confirm this fact or if they've got mixed up with an fac application but no answer. Somebody shed some light on this please as I think this could only delay it further (or maybe that's their plan). 1 Quote Link to post
Thrush 181 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Lost patience today and called the firearms department, apparently it's at the next stage and I should hear from somebody in the next few weeks! I don't see how a phone call to your reference and a quick visit to check your cabinet can take 5 mths plus to sort out, absolute joke!!!! Quote Link to post

No legal requirement for written or verbal permission to shoot for a Shotgun Certificate. Only for a Firearms where it is to be used for land shooting. Email them is probably best. Quote Link to post
timmy k 591 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I thought as much, just a bit confusing why they'd send it. Cheers Quote Link to post
timmy k 591 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Finally got in touch with them today, aparantly it's the form that they send for an fac and they sent it by accident. Problem solved and apparently it's gone to the regional fella so just waiting for a call of him Quote Link to post
