littlerob Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) So here go's been thinking of going fac for a while now. And thinking of 3 options but only needing one fac air or 22lr or 17hmr.for rabbits and targets. I have the land just over 1200 acres across 4 farms would I get a open ticket or need the ball ache of applying for every bit of land the farms have to use it on. 2nd is would it be a problem that I share my cabinet with me brother who is a sgc holder could the blots magazine be sorted in ammo safe and trigger lock the gun making the gun non shoot able . Or would it be easier to pay for him and apply for his fac at the same time Edited March 6, 2016 by littlerob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Depends on your experience and where you live really. Nephew was granted open FAC with no mentoring on first application, as was his mate just last month. Mates niece keeps her shotgun in her Fathers cabinet which holds firearms so long as his firearms are fitted with trigger locks. We're in Cumbria; your licensing authority may do things differently.

CharlieT Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 Most first time FAC applicants in England and Wales will get a closed condition. If they grant you one look on it as an added bonus. As far as storage is concerned, you may well be able to negotiate a way round another cabinet when you FEO visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
