Fac Air Rifle

[David Aiken 253]

i had to state what calibre on my application and a mod on its own is classed as a firearm. another bonus is fac airguns are cheaper.

 

Plenty of .22lr rifles on guntrader for under £50! FAC Air starting at £150 for a Patriot springer.

Basic DBS checks will only show current convictions etc. A caution is not a conviction and is spent after two years. An enhanced DBS check will show everything on it and is designed for people who work with children vulnerable people or need an enhanced level of security for their job.

 

Check the statutes of limitations on offences this will tell you if it needs to be declared. Just put on it that you had convictions xxx long ago they will automatically check the police national computer anyway and when they grant you a FAC you'll have a PNC record generated as a matter of course so they know that your a FAC holder. This is to show you can lawfully possess firearms and that when carrying them in they know potentially you have a firearm in the vehicle. This negates officers seizing firearms u Gil they can verify your lawfully in possession of them and ruining a shooting session.

A caution is most certainly a conviction mate. All offences except parking tickets, need to be put on application.

It's best to tell them about everything - as it shows you are an open and honest person.

a caution most certainly isn't a conviction it's an admission of guilt. A conviction can only been made by a court by magistrates or found guilty by jury and sentenced at crown court. Put everything down on the form they will weed out what they want on the form and run a check on you.

Cabinet doesn't have to fastened to an outside wall, it can be bolted to the floor as long as there is no gap between the back of the cabinet.

It's a test of your honesty as the FAO will rock up at the interview with your conviction history (if any), including cautions and that includes cautions you may have received as a kid.

All these wife's tales that cautions only stay on record for five years is nonsense. It all stays on your record. Permanently!

In my interview I was asked about when I got pulled over in the car, no arrest or problems and even that was on record. I was only pulled over for a check as a car was stolen nearby simelar to mine. That was years ago too.

Of course cautions stay on your PNC record because to get a caution you've been in custody and had your DNA and fingerprints taken. It's known as recordable offences but they are only valid for two years and then it's archived and you would be eligible for another caution if the custody sergeant deems it appropriate. If you've been in trouble as a kid that can be put down to being a youth but if you've got a history of dishonesty/violence then it can be used as evidence of u trustworthiness. Likewise they ask for driving convictions if you've constantly got 9 points on your licence etc then it shows you can't be trusted with a driving licence let alone a firearms certificate.
