i applied for and have been refused a coterminous grant application.
the reasons given were for my medical history and a domestic incident in 2018. Mymedical was an accidental OD of antibiotics and antihistamines in 2005 and a low mood disorder in 2010.
i sent a medical report with my application where my GP states I’m applying for firearms and that I’ve no current medications and he’s no current concerns.
now the domestic incident in 2018.
im a domestic violence victim my ex wife beat me up and was charged with GBH.
when me and my partner had a argument I thought she was going to hit me with me being an ex prison officer the training kicked in and I put her in arm lock.
the police deemed this excessive force and charged me with assault by beating.
it went all the way to court where the CPS offered no evidence and the case was dismissed.
we are now married and there’s been no incidents since.
the FEO I had for my visit wasn’t the nicest chap he spent less an hour in my house during which time he only spoke to my wife to ask her name.
I read the firearms security handbook 2019 which I applied to my cabinet and ammo safe now I keep my keys locked away as per the advice given in the handbook.
He didn’t like that and told me I should hide my keys in a draw or something.
he tried to tell me I had to have a monitored alarm system installed with no explanation as to why he felt it was necessary.
tried to tell me I was only allowed two rifles of the 5 I had applied for.
he even rang my club to tell them that the range was not suitable for the .17hmr and the .300blk I had applied for despite those rounds wrong well within our range rating.
he just generally wasn’t a very friendly approachable person.
so after speaking with the BASC firearms team I put a complaint in to the licensing manager who forwarded that complaint straight to the FEO concerned.
I feel this refusal is personal because I had the cheek to complain and reference the appropriate paragraphs in the firearms security handbook that the FEO was ignoring and enforcing his opinions.
I have legal protection with my other shooting insurance with country cover club and after a conversation with them on Saturday they seem to believe I have an above 50/50 chance of winning an appeal.
But I’m just wondering what the general consensus is, is it worth appealing or should I just accept the refusal.
