Hi all! just had the dreaded letter from the F.a.c dept saying my sgc is up for renew! which i knew was coming! the point is i am going to re-apply for my fire arms at the same time with a variation as i keep getting asked from 2 of my permissions to sort out the deer! which also leads to the point of getting an OPEN ticket!! yes yes i know i wont know unless i apply! just wondering if its to much to ask!!!!!

I have held my FAC for a little over 8 months. I initially had .22lr, .17hmr and .243. I have just had added a .22air rifle, a .20cal rifle and a .308.

 

No problems.

 

If you have a just cause and you are responsible with your guns, what is the problem ???

 

A sensible local police force also helps of course.

It may be your third renewal, but what experience do you have of deer legal calibres?

 

You and I know that a .22 can be as dangerous as a .308, but try telling Mr firearms licencing manager, who's probably not come within 10 feet of a hunting rifle in his life, let alone fired one.

 

The chance of being issued an open ticket for a centrefire rifle on first application is fairly miniscule I would say, unless you can prove extensive knowledge of the intended calibre and how to use it safely.

 

I know it's a PITA, but why can you not get the two permissions checked out for CF, then you don't need to worry about an open ticket. In fact if you've got a closed ticket, then they must have been checked already or you wouldn't be able to use your FAC kit on them.

Both of my permissions have been cleared for deer its just i can shoot on others just makes it simpler! as i am intent on going over the boarders also! with regards to experience!! I have been lucky enough to be a member for a few years on a large estate that has an annual cull where i use the estate rifles, and stalk with a dsc1 holder! apologies for not stating a little clearer.....ss
