shotgun refusal when should i re- apply

[Guest baldie]

Put your hand in your pocket, and go and see another GP. Get a full medical, including a written statement of mental health, if its fine, put back in for it.Read the post Compo put, i couldn,t find it at the time, but it basically means, they legally haven,t a leg to stand on regarding your previous midemeanors.Its the old gp,s letter thats buggering you up.Sort that, and they cant refuse, as i said before, its a civil right to own a shotgun, not so a firearm, thats different, but in the shotgun case, they have to PROVE you unfit.

Its a shit state of affairs that you can get your guns taken off you for being depressed, when something like 90 odd % of the population suffer with it at some point during their lives and go on to get well again and fully recover

So, my application for my S/G cert has just been refused. I had a ticket for over 20 years prior to getting with my ex. She was anti gun, an ex hippy, drug addict and hunt sab (bad choice right). So, they interviewed her and she told the police that I was controlling and coercive! All lies and just bitter as she hated guns. When we split, I went out to try to find a new home and get my head around everything - she told the police she thought I was going to kill myself ad they went to the house and took my gun - erm, I was out trying to find a home! I have NEVER been suicidal! I gave up my ticket as I was moving into a rented house and there was no where to keep my gun. What are my options now?

Wait until  you really know someone before getting to involved with them!

You certainly can pick them

As far as I’m aware, BASC can put you in touch with medical people who are NOT anti gun, for around the princely sum of £60. I would join them and see what they can do

Anti gun ex hippy drug addict. I bet she was a load of fun

Hard luck pal, hopefully you can make a fresh start and put it behind you

[Sausagedog 7,381]

Does she have convictions?

You could write to the chief constable and appeal. Possibly emphasising you have no convictions or criminal record (I'm assuming here) to give cause for concern.

14 years since a post was made on this thread, so I guess there have not been many refusals in that time.

Still don't know what happened to the original author!?
