Ryaneddy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi, Looking to see if there are any clubs near Liverpool or southport? I'm from bootle so inbetween. I have searched the forums but the only topic I could find is dated and the website also seem dated so not sure if they are still up. So if anyone shoots round here can you let me know. Also don't own a gun, so clubs were I could rent or hire preferably, Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryaneddy Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for the replys, Rainford and altcar are the closest but Rainford wants a license so I need to apply and get a cabnet wich I can't really afford right now, maybe next year in the summer that might happen. So I think I'll see about altcar first. Also one question even tho it's a while away, when applying for a license do I need a reference or a mentor? Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiep Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 For shotgun, you need a reference. A 'professional' type person, who has known you for some time, and feels that you are stable / sensible enough to be allowed to own a gun Mentoring only happens with FAC. here is Merseyside police's details http://www.merseyside.police.uk/document-library/useful-information/firearms-and-explosives-control.aspx Give them a call if there is anything you have any questions over. Most police firearms depts are pretty helpful Be prepared for a application to take a long time. North Wales are currently 4-6 months for shotgun certificates, and that is not unusually long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not planning on applying and the wait gives me time to scrounge money together for a case. Thanks Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian E Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Give John a ring at http://www.norgascartridges.co.uk/ I'm pretty sure he had some cheap cases, when I was up there on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryaneddy Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Just looked at there site 80 isnt a bad price, think I can spare that on my next pay check. Ill look at applying in the next week or so. I dont need a case until my SGC comes through and I can install it, ring the police and they will check it and hand me my SGC if im correct?

Ian E Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 They will want to inspect the case before they issue the SGC, once they have inspected it you normally get your SGC within a few weeks to a month. Bit of a chicken and egg situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
