Longy0710 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Hi Guys Got my SGC Interview tonight and to say I am nervous is an understatement. He is due at 4.30pm. Any ideas what I will be asked? The cabinet is located in my mother in laws house (still live at home). She is a child minder (that worries me) but the cabinet is kept upstairs in me and our lasses bedroom (kids not allowed upstairs). Will i have a problem with this? Let me know A very nervous Longy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swiss.tony Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) when he comes tell him you need gun for home defence and the cats in back garden ****** all over over place joke honest mister . dont worry its simples its just a wee chat nothing heavy just get some nice cake and tea ready get window shoping your ticket is on way un less you tell him the 1st statement... atb swiss and the cabinet thing should not be a problem as long as you dont give your keys to the kids or wife / girl friend Edited March 21, 2012 by swiss.tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longy0710 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks Swiss, I had heard mixed things about SGC but it seems that as long as the cabinet is fitted and you are not a raving loony it shouldnt be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bedwards1966 Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 You will be asked a few questions about yourself, you may have to tell them the safe distance regarding shot fallout with a shotgun (300 yards or so), how to handle a gun (checking it's empty etc). Mainly you should find the FEO to be friendly and helpful, and most of the interview will be spent with them telling you about everything themselves - safety, security, the paperwork etc. Mostly just sit back and listen, and don't forget to ask any questions you may have. Your cabinet location should be fine, it's not where people will go (i.e the children) and remember you are the only one allowed a key, so it won't be a problem.

Longy0710 Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well thought id update this post, it has been 4 weeks since my interview and still no certificate! To say im gutted is an understatement and although I know it will turn up I thought it would be here quicker. I have chased it but got told it may be another 1-2 weeks yet. Getting fed up of ringing home everyday seeing if the post has come. Sorry for the moan but needed to vent my disappointment. Just hope its here soon, desperate to get out on the clays with my own shotgun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a bit frustrating though, but it can be worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
