what chance


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

What chance do you think i have of getting an open ticket from Essex constabulary if I ask? I have held my ticket for 2 years and have had open fac air from the start, now have open fac shotgun too but closed on .22lr and wmr.

The only real reason I want it is that i have been offered shooting on a couple of pieces of land but as soon as a police check is mentioned the land owners shy off.

i will probably phone and ask tomorrow but just wanted to know what you guys think of the chances.

I wrote a letter to my licensing office and had mine opened after 18 months of gaining my first permissions, although i had previously held a FAC for 20years.

I stated in the letter that i now think that i am familiar with and have gained enough experience to identify safe shots, public rights of way, land boundaries, nearby housing and to judge for myself on whether to take a shot or not.

I aslo stated that i have been invited to shoot deer in several areas which i have had to turn down because of my licence restrictions and i have actually lost permission which was verbally agreed then instantly withdrawn at the mention of police land checks.

Go for it buddy you have nothing to lose.

 

Ian.
