I’ve been thinking of getting a gun license, my criminal record and mental health record are clean, but my mother(the house I want to keep the gun) has a criminal record from 20 years ago, will this effect my application 

Hello. I will soon be moving to France and hope somebody will know whether I can buy guns from UK dealers and have them sent. I don't have a FAC and doesn't look like I will have time to get one before I go. I will have a shooting license and a hunting license when I'm in France. Any info be greatly appreciated.

Folks,
 
I've just had this consultation through in an email from BASC which I think should be shared and completed by as many as possible,
 
Please take a look at the following page and the link on it, it may affect our legal use of firearms yet again because not enough is done to control those illegally trading/using them, so worth a go surely,

I was just wondering if any one could help me with a little problem I have at the moment, Iv recently started a new job as a pest control technicion and have been told that I will be doing some rabbit/bird work in the near future but we only use air rifles so after talking to the company I have been thinking about getting an air rifle that is more powerful than 11 ft lb but how would I go about applying for a FAC what would I have to write on the form.....Hope someone can help me, Cheers.
