Guest craftycarper Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well this morning i had the letter through from the met saying that my application for the rimfire has been declined in accordance with section 27 of the firearms act . The decision has been made purely because of my lack of experience of section 1 firearms. It also goes on to say that if i am able to obtain the assistance of an experienced shooter who is prepared to accompany me and after a time vouch for my competence then the situation will be looked at diffferently. At present they are not satisfied that a certificate can be issued to me without danger to myself, the public safety or the peace, tossers Quote Link to post
Big bald beautiful 1,231 Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 [get a shot gun licence first, makes it easyer and gives you the gun handling skills they require Quote Link to post
Guest baldie Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Absolute bollocks. If they are prepared to grant the ticket, providing you have a mentor, they are saying you ARE fit for a firearm.If your land has passed, you have no serious criminal record, and you have the appropriate security, they CANNOT refuse it. Take them to court. This mentoring buisness is creeping in, in all areas, none of it is legal, its law made on the hoof, and because people are complying with it, we are making a rod for our own backs.I hope you are a member of one of the organisations, if so, get their legal team straight on it, i guarantee, all you will need will be the threat of legal action.

Guest craftycarper Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) i've had the shottie cert for almost 2 years already, didn't make any differance i've had cameras fitted front & back of house, the land is already cleared as people are taking fox & deer on it, they have written permission from the owner. I've taken advice legally and the appeal has to go in front of a crown court and the judges decision is final which could be costly what with barristers fees etc or i could represent myself but i think that would be a waste of time. I have no criminal record and am S.I.A registered. Basically it's a load of old ******ks Edited October 30, 2006 by craftycarper Quote Link to post
