simon2302 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 What a joke my feo rang me to say his boss isn't happy with my application as I had a harassment warning about 5 years ago from my ex wife. Never had anything since. The FEO is only going to ring my ex wife and ask her if she's happy with me having a sgc certificate. Oh my days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Very much doubt you will get a refund. You never know she may surprise you so I would just wait it out and see what happens. Would also give BASC a call in morning and get advice from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think BASC will advise when the police are doing it by the book to ensure that loonies and wife beaters don't own firearms.

simon2302 Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'm not a loonie and not a wife beater thankyou. I have been married to my new wife 5 years now and life couldn't be any better. I'm coming off this forum as to much negativity. There was never any violence. It was all over stupid text messages over 5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Very good of you to be open and honest on here, all the boys in blue are doing is checking that you do not have any anger issues etc, put yureslves in their place and the give a SGC to someone who loses it and................. If it was a few texts 5 years ago it doesn't seem that bad to me. See what happens you never know. Good luck anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pw is a very honest and open forum. People often disagree yet rarely mean any offence. Best of luck with your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayDT10 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Can't see why they need to speak to an ex wife, they should have on record everything they need to know apart from speaking to your doctor no one else should need to know your applying for a cert. to think they could grant you a sgc on the say so of some blast from the past is ridiculous .

James1983 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I didn't suggest you were, I was answering James's post where he suggested BASC may have something to say about the police making such inquiries I wasn't suggesting talk to BASC about how the police are handing it as i fully support them doing the enquiries and having been in the police and locked up 'wife beaters' i have dealt first hand with people that shouldn't be given and type of certificate! I was suggesting he should talk to BASC to see what options he has if he is refused and if he stands any chance of appealing it. Also to give him general advice on how to deal with the situation.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 There was never any anger or violence. We still tall to this day and I was going to take her son shooting with me Mate, you have NEVER been TALL! As I told you last night, get on to BASC, seek their advice and challenge the decision. You are in a stable relationship and still talk to your ex wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
