roadkill Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 My sgc is with the police due to applying for my fac, however I want to go to a new clay pigeon shoot tomorrow at Kibworth. Am I able to still go shooting without it or will the ground ask to see it as im new there, don't want to make the hour journey to get turned around.

HDAV Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) ? Why have police got your SGC? How is that anything to do with your FAC application? ITs down to the ground but they will have an 11(6) to allow none SGC holders to shoot there, never been asked for mine at a clay ground....

roadkill Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Coterminous that's why he took it. Should be ok then. Ishould it a good ground Sian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sian Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 It's only a practise ground for sporting so not too tough. They have other disciplines there as well which is good as I like that. I prefer competition grounds really but they are a nice bunch and I enjoyed myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Why would FEO take current SGC when applying for co-terminus? Makes no sense at all. Either way off topic so ignore my ramblings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossberg-operator Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 If You are without an SGC, You can not present it, if police stops You with the gun. So, they can take it, if they think that is the right thing to do, until You can prove You have an SGC. This can't be right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but the PNC will show he has an SGC, might be an idea to carry other photo ID, still don't know why they need to take SGC when applying for FAC???

mossberg-operator Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I know PNC will show that, but legaly they can still take the gun if they want to. So, why did FEO take OP's licence away? Edited November 22, 2014 by londonercsecse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I sent my conterminous licence request off in Sep and sent a colour photo copy instead of the actual licences. I think it is always a good idea to have a copy of your licence when out shooting just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was going on the clays the day after my coterm visit so the FEO let me keep my paper copies and promise to destroy them when my new ones arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wascal Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I was going on the clays the day after my coterm visit so the FEO let me keep my paper copies and promise to destroy them when my new ones arrived Same here ! My new tickets arrived with a note saying please destroy the old one. I keep photos on my phone of all important documents , SGC/FAC, Driving licence , PPL etc so if I don't have the originals on me I can still produce something.

My nightmare of a renewal a while back, they also asked to take both my certs at interview. They didn't, but they asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Why do they ask though what benefit to them are your Certs? Especially when still valid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossberg-operator Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Why do they ask though what benefit to them are your Certs? Especially when still valid! to mess You up, because according to the law You have to present the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
