paul2012 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 How can this be right I haven't a clue, I can only guess that its because i have such a rocky background which needed further checks or something like that lol But then again the guys that run the local rfd have been telling me that they have had people waiting longer who go in there?

Dragonby38 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just had visit from Humberside police to check gun cabinet, pretty much 3 weeks to the day from them receiving application. Hopefully all goes well, I'll post again when I get the certificate to give total waiting time. No complaints so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrees21 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 7 months and counting, Durham police are really taking the **** now. And if I phone for an update I get treat like ****. Appalling service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O War Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 It was about 3 weeks for me with Greater Manchester Police and it would have been about a week if I had the cabinet fitted when he called round for the interview. Top notch service from GMP in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channa Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 GMP are probably the best in the country from what i know...When i worked at target sports nobody had a bad word to say about them. Lancashire on the other hand are very hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancashire on the other hand are very hard work. I'm in Lancashire in fact Darwen too and will be look at getting a SGC in the next few months when funds allow but in what way are Lancashire hard work?

Linus Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) I`m 2 weeks in waiting for west midland police to get in touch,although my application has to be directed to staffordshire police who have now merged with west mids. A work mate contacted staffordshire firearms department as he wants a larger safe,and was told there is a 12 week waiting list.

Dragonby38 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) 13 weeks and 2 days after my Humberside Police interview my SGC has arrived, so just over 16 weeks in total from me posting application off and getting cert back. Good/bad? Just happy to be able to buy shotgun and get shooting before Christmas!! Edited November 21, 2013 by Dragonby38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldred4 Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I posted mine on sept 1st and got my SGC on 5th Nov. This was West Mids/Staffordshire. I had two police officers come and interview me and they recommended any documents that need to go to the merged firearms licensing department of West Mids and Staffs goes recorded delivery. Anyone living in the West Mids who have anything sent to the West Mids police force address will have it sent via internal mail to Staffs. Things have been lost or severely delayed. Proof of posting has apparently helped out several people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
