Imperfection Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Recovering from heart surgery wont interfere with your renewal at all. The only thing you have to disclose if you've ever suffered from a mental impairment. I suffered a stroke in October 2019 and successfully renewed my FAC & SGC 3 months later so not all illnesses are a life changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted January 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 It's just that 5 years ago when my SGC was up for renewal the FEO made a bit of an issue about me having had a heart attack in 1996, at the time some SGC holders was just getting a phone call just to see if any thing had changed with the cabinet location or any other changes, he said he came out to see me to see if I was fit enough to go out shooting despite the fact I was working full time as a carpet fitter, and delivering the odd lot of furniture.

That would have been challenged because he is going off tangent with that sort of attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought at the time especially as a mates was up for renewal about the same time and he'd had a heart attack 18 months before and all he got was the phone call, there's one good thing it might not be the same FEO as last time, Ive never seen the same one twice in the last 20 years of renewal's.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Always best to get to know your FEO, makes this sort of thing much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 The FEO was more concerned with my Parkinsons but after a letter from my doctor saying i was fine all was ok. Was also cleared to keep on driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
