gav05 Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hi all my shotgun licence expired on the 23rd march i put in for my renewal on the 9th January so well in reasonable time. The feo took my old licence away with him. I now know i should have kept this. Anyway it's expired and iv not been re issued my new one yet so spoke to feo regards a temporary license. And he said it's all done they now don't actually issue them they just make a note on the system. Well if my reading of basc is correct that is not the case and in now not meant to be in possession.and as i don't have any proof of a certificate other than a photograph of my expired one my guns should be sent into storage. Can anyone confirm this for me and what's the best way to resolve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 You should insist that they issue you with a temp, you got your renewal in with plenty of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told by my FEO that renewals would take priority over grants, because they don't want poeple to be in possession of firearms without a valid cert, and a grant has no firearms only the right to acquire.

deershooter Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 You must have a temporary certificate otherwise you are in illegal possession of firearms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Your licensing authority are bound by law( all other criteria being met ) to issue you with a S7 permit. They are bound by law just like you and me. If you're in BASC get Bill Harriman on the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
