Hopefully 3 weeks and I'll have my FAC (touch wood)

do you have more permissions to shoot on, than you put down on the application?

 

when I was waiting for mine, I phoned once a week with a "new area" for them to check out, saying a customer wants me to clear rabbits on a one off basis, and by the way, how long till my cert arrives as I'm loosing money if someone else gets the job, as well as getting the cert within weeks, it was also an open cert on first application

I just spoke the the firearms department and they are processing in order of the FEOs visit and they are granting the ones from end of July so she said it could be a couple of months!!!

In fact I have got another permission through my father in law all I have to do is meet the farmer

Surely the back log will only get bigger as time goes by. Have they done anything to get back on track?

Don't know I spoke to basc and they gave me a phone number to speak to the supervisor but the supervisor is out at the moment so I'll try again tomorrow because I'm at risk of losing my permission if I can't keep on top of the rabbits

Use your shotgun......everytime you ring it will go back to the bottom lol

I traded my shotgun in theo lol

I'm going to speak to the supervisor tomorrow and explain that I put my application in in may 28th

And that it's nearly the end of October and that I'm in risk of losing my permission to someone else if I don't start sorting out the bunny problem

Then I'll phone BASC up and tell them what they say

Received a email from PCC saying that the firearms department are dealing with applications in a strict order so BASC told me to send and email asking them to ask the chief constable how will he cope in 2015 when we are in a quiet period

 

And I got an email from firearms saying they have a back log to BASC told me to email them under the freedom of information act how big is the back log, how long an average application takes and how many do they grant a day?

BASC said use pester power which is what I'm doing lol
