The one 8,411 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I got lucky then renewed my fire arms last week and he said your shotguns due next year give me a tenner and you can make them continous ? Quote Link to post
swshooter 0 Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Unfortunately mines due 2016 looks like the coterminous has gone from £50 to £65, could have been worse. Quote Link to post

shropshire dan 467 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Could have been a lot worse. It's still a bargain at £62 for 5 years 1 Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,929 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Price is increasing , service is deteriorating. Might just let them lapse and keep up the dog license instead. Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Should be 10 years as per BASC suggestion. Makes more sense and offers something back in respect of the increase. 1 Quote Link to post
shropshire dan 467 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yeah but £167.50 is hardly worth complaining about over 5 years. Quote Link to post
jacknife 2,005 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 To be honest its nothing for 5 years Quote Link to post
Alsone 789 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah but £167.50 is hardly worth complaining about over 5 years. That depends for unemployed, retired or under 18's that could be the increase that prices them out of the market. As I said, if the HO wanted to increase fees, then it would have been better if they'd given something back in return such as a 10 yr duration (which also takes the pressure off FEO's / departments as well) Quote Link to post

shropshire dan 467 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 If they increase the price and increase to 10 years then it's pointless increasing the price in the first place. Under 18's I'm sure mum and dad would pay, unemployed aren't as bad off as people think (I WAS unemployed for 2 years) and I'm not at all sure about pensioners. Quote Link to post
danw 1,748 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah but £167.50 is hardly worth complaining about over 5 years. Where do you get that figure from mate a coterminous grant will be £90 and renewal £65 2 Quote Link to post
sussex 5,776 Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 Price is increasing , service is deteriorating. Might just let them lapse and keep up the dog license instead. Does that mean the .222 is needing a new home ... .....obviously finding it the right home is important , more so than the money , somewhere down south where the weather is kinder , it will live out its remaining years in semi retirement in a loving home...Ive heard Sussex is that kind of place ..
