Matt_ Posted December 18 Report Share Posted December 18 Well as bad news always travels fast and all that, I thought it best to share some positive from the police (This is well overdue). Predominantly the Warwickshire FLU and their incredible haste, positive attitude and ease. So after a decade away I have come back to shooting. Back then I surrendered my s2 licence to Leicestershire police and sold up etc... Upon returning to the fold I'm in with another force and have been warned from friends that the licencing is a different beast to what it was a decade ago. This started with a 6 week wait for the GP proforma and a hefty amount of chasing, I thought this was the tip of a long wait and frustration. I finally got the proforma back and promptly sent it off to Warwickshire flu alongside with my application, all easily done online. This was on the 25th September. I get a phone call within hours saying they've received my application and need to get my previous details from Leicestershire flu so there may be a delay. Low and behold a few days later I get another phone call saying they've got all the details and will be proceeding with my application. At this moment I'm thinking this communication etc is great... And being ever the pessimist thinking this is where it all goes quiet. Just a week later my referee calls and states that they've contacted him regarding myself etc... A week or so then passes and I get a call asking for them to do the visit, this was arranged for the day after. This is just 3 weeks after initial application. With this completed my certificate gets posted out on the 23rd of October... Just 4 weeks later! I can't thank Warwickshire firearms enough for their professional and swift manner. The fact that royal mail then lost my certificate and they had to send a replacement out is another story but they're called royal fail for a reason. Feeling a very lucky boy and felt some overdue praise to be shared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 Very good, so all the police forces should be able to do this, but don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottletopbill Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 Think all forces should be able to meet this standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
