ziplex Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 after reading this i am not sure if its a wind up yet or not but if its not ,I personally would not let you near a gun sorry ,but you have said you are on medication for anxiety and depression.Now tell me if i am wrong but a depressed guy with shotgun in a gun club is a gun clubs nightmare,look i am not saying that you would but you obviously have problems or had ,you do need to come off the medication for i would say at least 12 months . To the rest of the members on here saying he should carry on using gun at club, dont think we need reminding about the terrible news this week about the house fire. We will get slated again :yp: This is the problem that people who have had depression face - imbecilic attitudes of people who know nothing and think that any hint of a problem means the guy is a psycho waiting to explode. What an idiotic answer to give. this is not an idiotic answer As ziplex has stated people who have not suffered from depression jump on the bandwagon and suggest he is some form of nutter. But they also try to understand and pretend to know how they feel ,to make light of the situation,Think he needs to hear some sensible answers from people who know how they feel. But i do agree with your both of your posts evilv and they do face a massive problem abd it is mainly from there gp's believe it or not who in turn just hand out the pills, then push them out the door . I was trying to point out that depression doesn't instantly make someone a 'full blown mentalist', as most people too quickly assume.

rarms Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Get on the phone to BASC if you are a member and ask them. Or CPSA etc... Personally I would get a solicitor and appeal it. I would guess the fees would be around £1.5k ish if you win £3k ish if you lose Then you know for certain one way or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor chap is on medication for depression, his GP will have been contacted by the police his medical reports will have been passed to a police medic for his comments and recommendation. These findings will have been handed to the Firearms Licensing Manager who has come to the only conclusion that he can. No grant..............end of. Advising the chap to waste £3000 on such an appeal will convince the police they have made the correct decision. Without wishing to sound hard, I sincerely hope they don't issue SGC's to applicants who are currently being treated by medication for depression.

Dave-G Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 AKAIK, a recent refusal makes it harder to get a grant even if you are completey sane and otherwise acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
