Really!!! GP form returned

[foxbasher]

Afternoon all. I finally received a txt message today from our local GP to tell me that my medical form is now ready to collect for my fac renewal. My wife's just collected it and says there is a "yes" tick on one of the questions. On the rear of the form it stated that I was treated for hyperactivity and disruptive behaviour between 1985 and 1990.

Haha I was only born in 1980 and during the time mentioned it actually turned out that I had an allergy to E numbers. This was 32 years ago and I barely even remember it.

Is this going to bite me in the *** now with the current state of affairs

Ooh! You’re stuffed! 
No ticket for you.

[Rewulf]

I doubt it very much.

Dont get annoyed by it , just explain it to the FEO when he visits.

The fact it wasnt mentioned on your grant , is in your favour too.

If you can get something to back up the E number thing, then that would help too, but I think youll be fine.

I’d sell up before they come to seize your firearms! Got anything nice? 🙂

[foxbasher]

Haha not really just working tools

Blame it on an early pre-release batch of Sunny Delight!

May be the reason most E numbers are banned now

Not a hopE

The firearms officer will of course take into account your age at the time. I wouldn't spend anytime worrying about it.

Foxbasher, the GP is only stating the facts, hopefully the FEO and the Licensing manager will look at the date.

Lol it was 32 years ago

I've spoken to a very nice gent at BASC and he said there's no worries 👍

Lucky to get a GP form returned!  My GP is flat out refusing to have any part of it and so are most local to me (they're all part of private practice contracted to the NHS Trust and have ganged together to say they conscientiously object to shooting).  Looks like I have to find one of the agencies/consultancies offering to retrieve and produce the report on my behalf now.

Medcert, shootcert, BASC have a scheme if you are a member.

I would also email my MP and complain. This needs to become mandatory for GPs to carry out and at a reasonable cost.

Think it will be the gallows for you.

That's what I thought when my better half collected the paperwork and said there was a discrepancy on it. After speaking with the chap at BASC I have no worries. I can't recommend their advice and support highly enough👍

I count the BASC partially responsible for backing GP reports and felt so strongly about it that I didn't renew my membership. That and off the back of all their other disastrous debacles.  Not a chance in hell I'll re-join now.  Looks like Medicert or similar and the extra cost now involved. The whole things' become a s&*^ show.
