bull dog Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 your honesty will stand you in good stead if it was a recent bout of depression they may ask you to wait a while and re apply a lot of it depends on what meds you were or are taking to deal with the condition and wether you was deemed a danger to your self or others which would b in your GP report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owo1-man Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Back on the subject of your application/medical, did you contact BASC ?, I contacted them yesterday by email about a problem with the same department and had a reply back the same day saying that they had been in touch and that the departments manager would be contacting me asap, that is a lot more than I have had out of them in the last 6 weeks and also shows them that someone else is concerned at their rate of turnover "or not as they say". I await their response, thinking of which I must get some straw for the Hedgehogs hibernation box!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shotboygun Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not heard anything back from them, I'm just going to bite the bullet and arrange to see their doctor. Will keep you posted on what happens but realise its prob a few more months wait for a decision for me now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owo1-man Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Went very well, as I already have my FAC Class 1 I also wanted to have SGC Class 2, very professional interview, no problems encountered and just waiting for it to drop on the mat.

Dan.lord Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) That's great lets hope it's not to long then. I used to have my section 1 FAC years ago, before they ruined it all let it go as interest was lost. Just want to get back in to clay shooting now Edited August 13, 2014 by Dan.lord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigEd85 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Quick Status update from me. I just spoke to the lovely people at the Essex Licencing office, apparently my application is due to be passed onto the enquiry officer and I should expect a call in...........4-8 weeks Even after the interview I bet it takes ages to get the piece of paper (if I am successful). I shall carry on saving. Ed P.S. I applied in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owo1-man Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 SGC hit the mat this morning, 11 weeks after application and input from BASC, time to go and collect from the RFD I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merseapaul Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Other professionals cannot get police assistance and being put at risk due to government cutbacks. Fail to see how basc or anyone else can do anything about staff shortages and overstretched resources. I feel you're just going to have to bear with them.
