Muddy Funker Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 So just had a very thorough chat with licensing regarding sgc and fac renewal. One of the questions being are you currently in possession of any firearms or ammunition you're not authorised to have. My answer was no. Then 15 mins later when checking the safe and guns he pulls out a ******* .243 round covered in dust and webs from under the foam at the bottom of the safe ARGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have a slot for 243. Luckily he had a sense of humour, I'm in a rental property and the safe was already in situ, I never checked under the foam. End result I should have my certs back in a few weeks with 223 added and the cert open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walshie Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Blimey. What's he doing rummaging around under the foam at the bottom of the safe? Not sure if my FEO even knows if my safe opens or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Why was he rooting through your cupboard? Every inspection I've ever had if the police want to see the guns they stand back with a clipboard of serial numbers, makes and models.

Muddy Funker Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I said it was thorough.I think he was looking to see it it was bolted to the floor as well as wall hence moving foam.Made my *** pucker haha! All okay in the end the round was so tarnished and dust covered it wasn't a drama thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleSimon Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Ha. That's nothing. I've got a friend, and his friend's friend knows a bloke who once heard that a fella had bought a second hand cabinet and paid for a courier to collect and deliver it. And when I (erm... I mean my friend's friend's acquaintance's anecdotal fella) opened it, there was half a box of ammo in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 More importantly SS was the ammo any use to you...your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fse10 Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Remember when i took a box of 45acp i had found ( five years after the pistol ban ) in an old range bag that i had put in the loft, into to a police station that was a fun three hours.

This is exacy why all those deformed rounds of .38 Special, 9mm, 45ACP and 44 Magnum I found in my mothers attic ( former bedroom and reloading room ) when I was clearing out after her death, were destroyed by me at a location only known to me. Why make things difficult for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
