Not being funny mate but you were on a hiding to nothing from the get go. No chance you`ll ever get a SGC I wouldn`t think. As for the OP join BASC and question why your ENTITLEMENT to a SGC is being impeded. You don`t apply to get permoission for a SGC it`s yours by right. The cops have to have a good reason to refuse. Offences whilst a child should not hinder your entitlement as an adult. I am a member of BASC they wont help me as they said I knew I would be unsuccessful from the get go, which is fair enough. I shoot with a rifle and work ferrets and dogs anyway so its not

I have stayed out of trouble for 15 years and just been refused. Chief of police said due to my arrest history (38 arrests between 1996 - 2002 which only 13 have led to subsequent charges) they have intelligence linking me to drugs and drug dealers and I rang the the police once and alleged an assault just to ensure that police came to the property..even though I was assaulted. Very strange really. But yeah if you have been convicted of anything the police will never in 100 million years think well maybe he has changed, maybe his circumstances are different, they honestly do not care and they

They do only help if your a member mate. But if you join with a record knowing you will be refused they will also not help you, member or not.

You could not be farther from the truth if you tried - please don't try BASC is not complacent; yes we try to raise funds from non-membership revenue to keep the membership fees down, for our members. I joined BASC as I shoot air rifles and work ferrets. I made a shotgun application AFTER I joined which was ultimately refused. I contacted BASC as I was made aware they had a helpline and so on. Long story short they refused to help me and said I knew I was going to fail therefore I should see a solicitor. And in as many words said I was only joining for that reason. He also quoted this

I haven't been nicked for 15 years, I got a custodial sentence of 1 month for assault (I won the fight) almost 20 years ago. I have just been refused as the narrow minded chief of police doesn't believe that anyone can ever change quite clearly. Your instantly tared with the proverbial brush as soon as your in trouble. As far as police are concerned they look at your sheet and in their opinion you haven't changed, you cant change and you will never change and that's it, simple.

Just a word of warning on this, the BASC generally won't help with any issue that started BEFORE the membership did. Don't know about SACS but I imagine thats the same. That said, SACS is well worth joining if you get this sorted. Just wondering, have the police ever had a call out to a domestic between you and your ex even if no-one was charged? True! But even that's now being manipulated. I joined BASC I made a shot gun application and got denied. They said we cant help you as this happened before I joined. Turns out they was incorrect as I joined first. They then said I knew I

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely be joining BASC now, hopefully they can help to support me with this, Cheers I am a member of BASC and have just been refused, they have declined to help me as they said I was aware I would be declined. I made an application after I joined thm and they have just basically sacked me off.

Evening Gents, I have been refused a SGC yesterday on the ground of my arrest record which is apparently 38 times between 1996 and 2002. My recent arrest obviously being 15 years ago. I joined BASC earlier this year which was prior to making a shotgun application, So once I was refused I gave them a call and asked what options I had. Gentleman was polite and said "I think we can help you" I sent him the letter form Lancashire constabulary and so on. The next morning I woke up with an email saying 'I have looked at the circumstances of your case. I regret to inform to inform you that ou
