Shaunm41 14 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 No, not got mine yet.. ordering it next week.. She said it will be ok as long as I get it and fit it for when she comes back with my license.. She said they normally post the license back but as she needs to see my safe she will bring it round..

Shaunm41 14 Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Just got a letter from the chief inspector. They refused my application. he said - in reviewing your application i have taken into account your conviction in november 2003 for driving a motor vehicle with excess alcohol, i note that you were arrested in november 2003 for 2 public order offences, and that you were given a police caution in october 2007 for an assault occasioning actual bodily harm. all these incidents display an underlying trend for excess alcohol consumption and such behaviour and disregard for the law is not expected of persons to be trusted to posess shotguns. Is it likely an appeal would be successfull or worthwhile? Quote Link to post

Do you not think maybe it would be better to do it the other way around and join a club, shoot with rented/club guns for a year and then reapply? Quote Link to post
black lab 3 Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Hi, Just applyed for my certificate with west yorkshire police.. Still waiting to hear from them at the moment, but im a little worried about my previous convictions.. It states "previous convictions" so I didnt declare the caution I recieved about 2 years ago for section 47 assault... I told them i had been convicted of drink driving, driving without insurance and driving without a license.. When infact I was charged with driving without license and insurance 3 times.. Will any of these things affect my application? If I mention it when they come round will I be ok or will they be questioning why I didnt tell them "everything"....? Thanks Shaun Hi Shaun, dont want to burst your bubble mate but i know a chap who had his firearm cert taken from him because he was convicted with drink driving offences and the letter said he was not a competant person in the eye's of the law to handle firearms, dont know if this will still apply now as this was over 15 years ago but i believe it may be even more strict now, this was in the Glasgow area, good luck mate.

Surely that could be classed as resonable period.. Quote Link to post
