Hi there, Does anyone in the West Mids area know how to get in touch with a real person to talk to on the end of a phone to enquire about the progress of your application? I have a number but its all automated and wont let you get to a real person !!

As a new member to PW and one that is STILL waiting for a visit from the FEO I wondered what you all felt about an article in my local paper regarding the Staffs police "fast track" pilot scheme to make the application for firearms licence easier and quicker by doing it online and so cutting a lot of red tape. The article reads along the line of, "Staffordshire police will be one of five forces to pilot the new initiate, which police say will update the system and reduce bureaucracy. From September applicants can apply for renewals, grants, make amendments to their licence , track applications and pay online. Those applying for licences will still receive home visits from specially trained staff and subject to intensive checks". From my own point of view I think as long as there are still the rigerous home checks it would be a good thing to be able to get online and look at your licence and amend and pay for applications and especially in my situation now be able to see how far your application is through the system. What say you PW peeps ??

Im still waiting for a visit from the local West Midlands FEO, its been five weeks now since posting the application so hopefully it should be soon.

Hi there, and

Hello and welcome.

Hi there, I'm now into the fourth week of waiting for my inspection from my local FEO in order to obtain my SGC, is this unusual or can it take a lot longer? :unsure:

Its only uneven in the resect of being rough due to mortar lumps etc., I'm only talking about small gaps so maybe beading would do it. Just wondered how fussy the FO would be.

Hi everybody, As i said in my first post on the wecome forum I am only just starting out in the clay pigeon shootong sport and haven't yet got my sgc, but I have manage to get hold of a 3 gun cabinet off eBay in readiness for the FO to visit and inspect. I decided to locate the cabinet in the loft as it was really the only place it could be put out of sight and on an exterior wall which is no problem apart from the wall being breeze block and so very uneven leaving the odd gap behind the cabinet where something could be put in to lever it away from the wall, this is after getting into the house, into the loft, finding the safe etc. Do you think this is going to be a big problem to the inspecting officer? The cabinet will be secured from the inside with 6 wall bolts. Please let me know your thoughts.

Hello everyone, I'm very new to clay pigeon shooting and shotguns in general. just applied for my sgc and waiting for a visit from the local constabulary so I will be looking to all you veterans to guide me down the right paths. There will be lots of questions and advice I will be looking for in the future so you will be hearing a lot from me, but for now, once again Hello to you all.
