adam f Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Sorry - another Q: I'm just getting all the paperwork sorted ready to fill out, and notice that on the SGC it asks for the counter signatory to be a civil servant / doctor etc, whereas on the FAC is only asks for a person 'of good standing' Is this right, anyone shead anylight on this, or is it simply as above?

mossy835 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 on your fac, you can have 2 friends to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 on your fac, you can have 2 friends to sign. As above, just as long as they have known you for the prescribed length of time, obviously no-one with criminal history! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam f Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 OK - but what about my SGC? Friends or someone more 'offical'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Had 2 shooting buddies to fill mine in. Dropped the 2 reference forms off and they did the rest. As long as you are not there when they fill your forms in every thing should be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyska Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 OK - but what about my SGC? Friends or someone more 'offical'? For some reason, in my neck of the woods, someone 'more official'. But don't stress about it, anyone with post nominal letters and works in the field they completed their degree for, or someone in a decent social standing, this can be a volunteer for a charity, business owner, doctor if you want to pay for his/her signature.

adam f Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I just found it strange that the FAC which arguably allows a greater to a range of firearms, requires signatures from people just just know you well, but the SGC requires a little more than that? Anyway - to check Ive got it right, I need 2x well known friends (2 yrs + good standing etc) for my FAC and for my SGC I need someone with letters before their name who also knows me? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy1403 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 the reason for friends on a fac is they need to know about what they think of your family life.friends are more likely to know if your wife is having an affair and you`ve just found out what are you likely to do.your doctor or your boss wouldn`t know this.

Colster Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Think of the SGC like a passport application. A mate (who was also one of my FAC referees) was my SGC co-signor, his job title is Glazing Manager and they accepted him no problem.
