The Seeker 3,048 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Sorry to hear about that mate what a nightmare especially as you lost a permission. I'm pleased to say South Yorkshire Police are switched on never had an issue with them Quote Link to post
243ACK 36 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Warwickshire are a hell of a lot quicker, the standard time would probably be a coupl,e of weeks I would imagine. I once drove to the Police HQ - Firearms Dept (about a 30 minute drive) and they carried out a variation supplying the new FAC there and then, it literally took half an hour. I that half an hour they even made me a coffee!! Quote Link to post

PLEDGEY 493 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I hope Avon and Somerset dont take that long. As i only sent off for my variation yesterday. I had to wait 3 months for my SGC. When i spoke to the FAO he said they had a hell of a back log of paper work. Quote Link to post

Hmr Hunter 2 Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 I called Gwent and was told "We are getting Variations turned around in 10 days at the moment!" I think by that they meant "We turn the Variation forms in the tray once every 10 days!" 5-6 Weeks later and still waiting!! I have called by the way 3 weeks back and was told it's about to get sorted!!! Yeah Right Quote Link to post
