Bigad 136 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Right guys going been told to send a letter in requesting open condition for my firearm certificate drafted this up what do you think ? Dear Mr *head of firearms*, I am writing to you to request a less restrictive firearms certificate as the current conditions are affecting my ability to meet the pest control requirements currently asked of me. Although my certificate was issued 1 year ago . During this time I have gained a wide experience of firearm use in the field I am normally shooting every weekend and have used 1,000 rounds therefore feel I am capable of assessing the suitability of ground for a particular firearm. I would therefore like to ask that you consider removing the condition restricting the use of my firearms to land approved by the police. I hope to hear from you in the near future regarding this matter. Yours sincerely, *Me* 1 Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I didn't ask for a open ticket I was offered one after 6 months of having FAC. But In my eyes I wouldn't turn thay down sounds very well written. I was only offered an open ticket as I had a lot of odd pest control jobs and kept calling the feo so if I was you I'd also add in the letter that you are often approached and asked to take care of the odd fox on various land so your then really in need of an open ticket.
