spandit Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 The chap that offered to be my mentor for a .243 has been turned down because he doesn't have an open licence. Anyone in the Heathfield area who could offer to mentor me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckyshot Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 When I had to have a mentor essex police said as long as they have a fac and can say your safe Very rare I hear of people in my area being mentored but when I have done the mentor needs the same calibre gun or higher.

hawkeye Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 There is nothing in the HO guide lines to say you should have a mentor, Andy Marsh the chairman of the police firearms committee is set against it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 There is nothing in the HO guide lines to say you should have a mentor, Andy Marsh the chairman of the police firearms committee is set against it..... +1, But 'if' the OP has'nt any experience at all with firearms, then the police can 'insist' on a mentoring condition or some form of training.

spandit Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 No joy so far, but still got a couple of lines of enquiry to follow. They are insisting on someone with an open licence, despite stating quite clearly he's allowed to shoot his .243 on my land (which will be happening tomorrow!). Am on the verge of just going for the rimfire and putting in a variation down the line for a .243, despite the cost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
