hollidca Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I've been target shooting at local grounds for nearly 12 months and today I posted my SGC grant application to Northumbria Police. Fingers crossed for good news soon. Hoping it won't be too long (I'm thinking 12-14 months) until I'm shooting over my cocker (still only a pup).

DeepThought Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Good for you. I don't know what Northumbria are like turning these things around but hopefully they won't make you sweat for too long. I can remember all too well how torturous it is trawling longingly through gun trader whilst waiting for that brown envelope to arrive.

hollidca Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Application sent on the 17th and got a phone call today to arrange a visit from the FEO late July. Not a slow turn around IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollidca Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Shotgun Certificate arrived today Only 7 days after my FEO visit. Excellent service and friendly FEO. Well done Northumbria Police! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsLad45 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 So are you booked off work tomorrow to go get your first shotgun, lol. Not buying a gun straight away is one of the hardest things once your first SGC comes through. Take your time and find the right price and fit for you.
