paulr5604 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I have just spoken with humberside firearms as my inspection was just under 4 weeks ago and I have been told that it is with someone awaiting to be signed off so how long it will take from here is anyones guess. Both officers that I have spoken with have been extremely helpful. Edited February 16, 2012 by paulr5604 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmoo Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 No good to you, but I got a SGC granted on my doorstep in 4 weeks, yes 4 weeks. Sussex Police recieved it at begining of March and it was on the door mat, 1st week of April. Like the other members have written it can be a loooooooooooong wait, what with Police funding being cut too, I would imagine its going to get worse. I hope its as speedy as it was last time, as Im about to put in for my FAC. Good luck and I hope its not too long. Schmoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
