zipdog Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 hi i submitted my FAC application about 1 month ago but had not heard anything. I rang the firearms office today and the lady said they had processed it and sent it to my FEO on the 6th of April. i explained that the FEO had not contacted me and she gave me his name and phone number to ring him if i wish. My question is should i be patient and wait for him to ring or give him a call and hopefully speed it up a little. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen20 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 A month is a joke its always the same with every firearms department you have to give them the occasional poke every step of the way you have to be on their heels orelse they will drop the ball and thats when delays happen. Ring him just tell him your name and so on tell him you have contacted the firearms department and they told you that they had sent your case to him on the 6th of april which is 2 WEEKS AGO!!! i think he should have contacted you by now. Also pin him down to a date and time which is suitable for you both dont let him say i'll look in my diary and call you back (BIGGEST BLAG EVER) lol. Good Luck.

apache Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I have always left it in their court and waited for them to make contact. Personally I'd give them another week and see, especially as I take it this is a first grant? You don't want to seem to pushy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 My view on it is the more you talk to them the more they get to know you. As long as you're not rude that will go on to build a positive relationship between you - something that certainly can't do any harm but may well help when you next want something!

Bowen20 Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Good luck m8 don't be nervous he's not going to bite well I don't rekon he will. And don't be afraid to ask questions or add something else to your application they can only say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 I would - I phoned mine after 8 weeks to find out what was going on, and he told me he was struggling to fit people in for appointments as everyone wanted them after work - 6pm-ish. I told him I was available from lunchtime on Fridays, and the following Friday he visited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
