keg Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Best of luck and remember it has to be chocolate Hobknobs, not the own brand stuff but the real deal from Mcvities. Joking apart, you will be fine. Open and honest always works. Don't forget to let us know how you get on.

Steppenwolf Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 You'll be ok, after all in th UK it is your right to own a shotgun. The police have to find a good reason for you not to have one, so as long as you have no mental health issues or criminal record it is virtually impossible to not get the grant.
