Applying For Shotgun Licence

[nuggett 58]

I recently applied for shotgun licence and filling my foam in I was told I did not need to put on my application of conviction that I had 12 and 10 years ago which I found out after that I'd broke the law and am now waiting to attend court for false declaration has this happen to anybody else and [BANNED TEXT] was the outcome as stupid as I was for not finding out and puting the conviction on my foam

Who told you that you didn't need to declare previous convictions? Sounds a bit odd to me.

[nuggett 58]

My mate said I didn't need to as it was 12 years ago there nothing odd as me rushing it and not reading it I've just spent think it was pound to land myself it court nothing odd just stupid

I had said two previous conviction for mobile phone which was recent and speeding fine I'd put them down but the one conviction 10 years ago I didn't even go court got dealt in my absence so I'd forgotten completly about that the other was for fighting and my mate who got convicted with me as his licence so I'd have no reason to try to hide that

I didn't mean odd as in I didn't believe you. I meant odd as in someone telling you if they don't know the answer themselves.

yea I know it's my fault I know but just wanted to find out if this happen to anybody and the outcome as if found guilty I can probably forget my licence

Hopefully they take it as a mistake more than a deliberate act and not get to heavy handed ..good luck with it ..

[nuggett 58]

Yea I hope so just don't know if I should get solicitor and that be more cost or just go with [BANNED TEXT] happen and hope they believe me

It does clearly state , all convictions

Best of luck anyway

[nuggett 58]

Yea I know that now

I had people telling me the same thing as you . I think it applies when applying for a job that after a certain amount of years you don't have to declare , I assume people just assume it's the same for shotgun license aswell for some reason

[Fellman Mark 607]

I am no bellend mate it says clearly enough on the form state all convictions anyway I am not one for writing shit on a Internet forum normally so best of luck hope all goes well I got mine I've got 2 conviction from 15 and 16 years ago for possession of class a drugs and then possession of a bladed article ie knife I was honest about it I think that makes all the difference all the best I hope it all goes well

I don't come on here often the reason that soon as some one puts something all the dick heads jump on to rip it to bits so I thought here another one I understand now [BANNED TEXT] I should of done I was just looking if some one had done the same as me and the end result
