webber Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 I doubt that you will loose your SGC. If firearms dept do contact you, be honest and admit your mistake. Accept any form of verbal ear bashing that they may issue, and make sure that you dont cockup again! If matters progress beyond this contact BASC without delay. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Don't forget the Seller had to notify them as well. Assuming they did that immediately. the Authorities already have a record of the transaction. I doubt if they will make much of it, unless you have an officious Firearms Officer. Even then, they are hardly likely to take away your certificate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palombier Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Northy I agree with Cranfield and Webber you are unlikely to lose you licence provided you have not offended similarly and persistently in the past. You are supposed to inform them 'without undue delay' The 7 day condition has been superseded. In which case I doubt that they will be too concerned. Good Luck P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete evans Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 northy letters probably sit on the guys desk for a week or two i wouldnt worry too much about it but if your asked just be honest and appologise. an honest appology beats a **** excuse anyday. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pike Posted October 9, 2004 Report Share Posted October 9, 2004 Sent my firearms dept a letter weeks ago telling them I had moved and inviting them tocome over to check the new place and cabinet and still havn't heard back from them so I wouldn't panic!
