jackinbox99 41 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Im moving to Northamptonshire, are their firearms / SGC inspectors reasonable people? Im in Cambridgeshire atm, and my local fao is as sound as a pound, had no issues at all over the last 15 years. Any recent experiences anyone can tell me about? Cheers! Quote Link to post

I think Northants are one of the more reasonable forces. I don't know of anyone who has had any significant problems with them. I had a small issue at my last renewal over hold/buy quantities and a new calibre, but this was sorted out with a meeting with the lady in charge. Where abouts are you moving to? Quote Link to post

arveyboy 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 hi mate, im over oundle way. the local Feo is a good bloke. i get the impression however his boss does anything she can to prevent the open usage of firearms because ive had centrefire for over a year now, done a fair bit of shooting with it and they still wont give me an open cert. but oh well, very friendly and quick with the paperwork. atb with the move, jack Quote Link to post

Jebus 3 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 I'm in Northampton and my FEO is a top gentleman. It took me about 3 months to get my ticket though! Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Best place for guns round there is sporting targets in Riseley. Not heard any bad things about Northants police. If you hold the certs already they shouldn't cause you too many problems! Quote Link to post
