This is for shotguns, don’t know about firearms. We just get a phone call interview, ssves on the hobnobs ☺️ That's normally been my experience, but this time they went to the far end of a f-art...... They phoned my referee and questioned him in depth, tested my safe, took out all the guns and cross referenced serial numbers against my ticket, wanted to see all my medication (after declaring a heart attack from 4 years ago), wanted to see my clay ground membership details, AND ate all my Hobnob's😳. I was starting to feel like I'd done something wrong, so I asked 'why the in-depth investigation' this time? I was told "We're not too busy at the moment, so we have plenty of time to go through the process"🙄 Nice guy though, the FEO; and 9 days later I have received my renewal👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a call this morning from a FLO based up in Huntingtdon - went through the normal questions. He tried to get me to lower my ammo hold amounts as he said Cambs didn't like that much. I politely explained they'd already been granted by Herts and it makes sense when buying expanding heads. So he relented. No visit apparently. Granted renewal. you can buy as many bullets as you want nick, its only loaded rounds that count for your hold limits. how many are they allowing and on what calibers?

Ade1971 Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi Had my renewal reminder through this week from South Wales and if I am reading this right, as long as I send in my application by the 10th April they will add 8 weeks extension past my 6th June expiry date. They must have a backlog and this is the alternative to a section 7 Ade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had the original certificate extended by a couple of months until everything was sorted. Not able to purchase ammunition with it though.

ShootingEgg Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 On 12/02/2019 at 20:09, oowee said: It would be interesting to see the number of licences in an area (the income) and the operating costs for running firearms licencing. I don't think BASC have done the exercise under FOI but I will drop them a line and ask. You would expect the budget to cover the costs after the meetings to determine licencing costs. Either the budget was wrong or the money has gone elsewhere. Well avon and Somerset are one man down as a chap I know who worked for the licensing team left last friday. And no they had not bought in a replacement. So as far as I'm aware they are even less staffed now. Id think there's a fair few licence holders in AVS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade1971 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Emailed a couple of weeks ago for an update on my renewal and was told they are dealing with renewals on an expiry date basis So just received an email to return my shotgun certificate so they can issue my first coterminous renewal by return of post. So looks like no FEO visit on this renewal and hopefully the closed restriction will have been opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it has all been combined it seems the worst bits of all three seem to have taken over. Oh Blum, I've just sent mine to them for renewal!
