villaman 9,983 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Just a up date on my license. Phoned again to day just to find out what has happened to my license, it never came like they said . First she said it has not been granted yet , I pointed out that the last time I phoned , I was told it's on the desk waiting to be posted to me early part of the week . Now they have told me end of this week and blaming cut backs , no staff and every other excuse they can find . April 10 /2017 the form was sent of , coming up to a year ago . Its not like it's free ,after paying for your license,then £250 month council tax , which part of that goes to the county police and that part has gone up by 6.2% this year !! 2 Quote Link to post

The one 8,479 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Aye the money goes to the council who say they cant do the job due to cuts , there was a police force in England saying they wanted the fee put up as it was costing them more to process it than they where charging , I think it was BASC tore them a new one saying if they did the job properly they could do it on time and on budget 1 Quote Link to post

The one 8,479 Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Its in the news in this weeks shooting times 4 april 2018 David jamieson , police and crime commissioner (pcc) said he wants to make sure that the forces are not " subsidising gun ownership) . Mr Jamieson claims there is a average loss of £36.85 for every application that the West Midlands process to the tune of £100,000 each year But Bill Harrison Bascs director of firearms responded " It is quite alarming that the PCC for West Midlands can use inefficiencies in his force to justify wild claims for significant losses at a national level Ie land checks not required and causing delays and expense Quote Link to post
