My dad has just applied for shotgun licence and firearms officer told him my criminal past can affect him getting licence even though i dont live with him and live 15 miles away

Surely my history shudnt affect me dad tho fr a recent offense of controlled substance and offensive weapon

[monkey*hanger 16]

should it f**k [BANNED TEXT] but offensive weapon the way they will see it its going to be held in a house where the door will always be open to you, many sons have nicked there dads car keys and took his motor for a spin they will be thinking he could take his gun and have a rampage either way its a thorough process to avoid disasters but i think he will get it this time

[jharrison_2009 8]

no it should not affect him what so ever as long as your conviction was not for fire arms offences only then would they take a dim view

Why would it nt affect his application your his son with a conviction of an offensive weapon and presumably still have access to his home.

They will take your character into account. I've pasted below the relevant section from the procedural guide.

 

• Consider character and third parties (family, friends, associates, other residents)

and where appropriate conduct PNC/CRO and criminal intelligence checks.

Considerable care must be taken when conducting these checks as there is likely

to be an infringement of Article 8 of the ECHR. The Family, Friends and

Associates of the individual applying have a right to respect for their privacy and

family life and Firearms legislation makes no provision for this right in respect of

these persons to be interfered with. Any such interference must be shown to be

necessary in the interests of public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime,

or the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
