Steppenwolf Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think we were looking more if you had those new unannounced visits that the police are talking about of recently implementing, not if neighbours complained due to your shooting and the police were called.

Gordon R Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Slightly puzzled about why the thread was started. If the OP has a licence, he would already have had a visit. If we are talking about unannounced visits, there would normally be something behind it. A new gun is no reason at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think this is with reference to the announcement from last week Gordon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I think this is with reference to the announcement from last week Gordon. There are obviously a few people on this site with FAC/SGC, in view of the recent thread it would be more than interesting to monitor the Increase (or Not) in unannounced home visits! Perhaps something could be pinned for people to enter details of such visits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Presumably some of us will have to phone the police to allege that something is happening and link terrorism in to the conversation before they decide to conduct the unannounced visits!

BunnyBasher14 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) Fao came round a week last Friday to do an unannounced visit, but as i wasn't in at the time he asked my gran who was a few questions (if she knew where i kept the keys etc). Then called me to arrange a better time, so he nipped back on Tuesday dinner. All seemed to go well checked my cabinet and guns. Took no longer than 10 min then off he went, didn't even stay for the standard cuppa! Edited October 20, 2014 by BunnyBasher14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69chris Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 iv been expecting a visit as it was in the local paper that the police were going to do suprise visits, tbh im quite happy for them to come and have a look/chat/cuppa tea as i cant see what harm its going to do, and when they see im safe and complying to the rules hopefully they will ****** off and pester someone else but seriously, its gonna happen regardless so if were all civil and above board they will just tick the box and move on - simple.....right ??

chancer2 Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Get real!! More visits means more staff. They're over stretched now,so can't see it happening. David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Lets just wait and see how this "new" ( ) initiative pans out. I think one or two people got more than a bit over emotional (and way to over sensitive) and read far more into this in the last thread than is ever going to happen. My opinion is this is tomorrows chip paper, it is designed for public consumption and I personally don't see the powers that be are making any suggestion we are terrorists (although that seems the only thing some can see). So, what is the fuss about...don't answer that.................. just report back in 3 months when you have all lost your FAC or the whole thing has been forgotten!

Exactly what i thought , had nothing to worry about as everything’s always kept secure! FAO mentioned he had a few more "unannounced" visits to do before the day was out. Be good to get some feedback from other local lads. Lets just wait and see how this "new" ( ) initiative pans out.
