deadeye18 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 That would be good,the only thing really really want though is no more restrictions on any part of our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flynny Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Should be for life as long as we are good guys n gals,with just a quick check on there system, a 10 yearly fee no problem as long as there's no rigmarole involved ie paperwork etc etc, they already have us on file "Mr Flynn are you still a law abiding citizen " " yes you can see from my records I am" " Mr Flynn do you still use your rifles and shotguns" "Yes you can see from my records and amount of ammo I use and the permissions I have for land to shoot on" "Mr Flynn has anything changed fro your last application" "No" " please send 10 year fee ,as soon as received your new 10 year FAC etc will be sent" "(Fee sent ) thank you " Carry on Mr Flynn" But as has been said that's too easy!!!! The powers that be know what we've been up to, as long as we have land to shoot on or sporting / staking permission wether it be paid days etc , we have a reason to enjoy our hunting/sport, As a fisherman I have to have a fishing licence,( and pay for day tickets or be a member of a club / have permission to fish in certain areas)but not one for the different types of rod and reel I use? It's a sport we enjoy, wether rod or rifle they are tools for our sport , Atb Flynny Edited September 11, 2015 by flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatFreddysCat Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Be great if we could have 10 year, co-terminus SGC, FAC, driving license and passport, they all need the same photos, the government already has the info on us that they need and it would save a lot of faffing around and save money (or is it a secret government money generation scheme?)
