shootgun Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Posted my application on 15/11/13, got a phone call on 18th to be told the application is being processed, and today my FEO called to arrange interview for tomorrow morning I must say i'm amazed, only 10 days from posting the forms to the interview, with Metropolitan Police. I'm a bit nervous but i hope everithing will be all right. Gun cabinet fitted in the locked cellar, so no problems here i hope... any tips for the interview guys?

shootgun Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 i was just thinking, i have my air rifles locked in the gun cabinet... should i remove them prior to inspection/interview? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 I would leave them where they are.although they do not need a licence the law says that they should be kept secure to prevent under 18s having access to them.you could hide them but whats the point.

spandit Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Tell him the air rifles are locked up - shows you have a responsible attitude. You'll be fine, they wouldn't grant you an interview if there was a reason you weren't going to get a licence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 My FEO just left, he said he haven't got any problem recomending me to the Chief Constable for the SGC Very helpfull bloke, he even advised me on what guns to start with and after a while to apply for a FAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 That's good news, although not for your wallet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 Was he selling one? That'd be a treat "Here's your SGC now I've got something in the boot that might interest you"... he even advised me on what guns to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootgun Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 That's good news, although not for your wallet! I know... but i can't wait... Was he selling one? That'd be a treat "Here's your SGC now I've got something in the boot that might interest you"... He wasn't... but he said he have a FAC open ticket and he's shooting from 25 years, so he might know a few things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
