Paddy Galore! Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 that's a lot of guns out there, one thing i noticed is it's a little out of date, suffolk have merged with norfolk fld, they dealt with nigh on 120k firearms between them. phew!

CZ550Kevlar Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 it appears Kent are issuing far too many certs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshLamb Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 interesting that Gwent (my issuing force) did not refuse ANY SGC or firearm applications!! Think I will put in for my FAC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 South Wales Police (my issuing force) are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Paul Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Really interesting reading. I am very surprised at how few new FAC applications are refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Really interesting reading. I am very surprised at how few new FAC applications are refused. I am not really surprised at how many applications are refused . If an applicant is of sound mind ,has no criminal convictions and has a need for the firearm then it should be granted . Harnser .

Bleeh Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Really interesting reading. I am very surprised at how few new FAC applications are refused. I don't think that includes people who withdraw their applications after being told the conditions of getting a FAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdeor Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I think if you live in west mersea you may have problems..........not just with your application :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 The reason so few applications are refused is not because almost everybody who applies gets one, it's because almost everybody who applies but doesn't get one is advised to withdraw their application, so it's neither granted nor refused and does not show in any figures.
