applying for fac

[The one 8,533]

I had a mate well a lad that asked to be taken out ferreting then he enjoyed it got a few ferrets , then got a shotgun to shot the rabbits and started game shooting , then next thing got a big rifle to go foxing and deer stalking . This lad had problems from the start with depression when you used to go for him in the morning he was never up and his wife always let us in gave us a cuppa while he got fed and took his tablets , he used to rattle

I'd be happier if someone like that didn't have firearms.

Aye  it was fine ferreting with him them he got two spaniels and it blossomed from there , he got into it big time them started going out getting a deer and swapping it for messages from a van , them sold up bought a motor bike and got into fishing i dont think he can do any harm now

i thought once you were in a better place and had recovered and moved on you would be pk ,but I can see it from the other flip of the coin,it could happen again and this time your in charge of a fire arm if you do flip and decide to hurt some one not that my mate is like that,but the mind is a funny thing

Tell him not to take it too personally Jeff - the copper making the decision won't know him so, he just has to run the numbers - mental issues are still very difficult for most doctors to understand and work out.

 ............. Look at it this way - would any of us give a rifle to a stranger that has history?

 

I hope he enjoys his shooting mate (albeit restricted,) and, at some point in the future, it'll be nice if he gets granted his license

thanks jonjon  mate your right what your saying mate, I think it just brought it all back to him about his wife,i told him at the time when he was considering taking her back I said she has done it once she could do it again,not what he wanted to hear at the time but you have to be truthefull with good mates,id expect some one to tell me straight

[The one 8,533]

Thing is they could lie and probably get one but if you need a doctors report for some forces your screwed and they would probably charge you  for lying 

[j j m 6,591]

not worth getting a criminal conviction but I bet some try it

Too right mate - if she's done it once she WILL do it again. No one needs that agro'.

........... I turn 40 this year and I've already learned that lesson

 

Send him him off to find a little oriental - I've heard good things about them from a couple of blokes

I honestly can see for the life of me how that guy got a 243 but he did and he had the weight of the world on his back he had that many problems half the time he couldn't go to his work for facing them after he sold up he passed his HGV test i hope he never has a bad day now  he could do a lot of damage with one of those  

[j j m 6,591]

not to be trusted if they have done it once jon mate,only a mug would take her back,oriental you say I will pass info on mate

[j j m 6,591]

a hgv in the wrong hands would be worse then any gun bud

Do it mate - send him off abroad to have some fun

 

[j j m 6,591]

he could do with it jon mate ,ive told him hes got to move on hes still got his life in front of him,i think it was the knock back on the fac that brought bad memories back bud,but he has to put it behind him you come in to this life as 1 person and you will go out the same way

Think depression is treated like drugs or drunk they always think although your recovering you can slip back
