White Rabbit Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm pretty sure the police have gone about this the wrong way and he should win on appeal. If his last conviction was 2 yrs ago why didn't the police deem him unsuitable then and revoke his certificates at the time? I've heard of cases like this before and they usually win on appeal as it doesn't make sense. If someones unsuitable you dont wait two years to react. I'm not debating the rights and wrongs of drink driving/convictions but the police response should be taken at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 A drink driving conviction tells a lot about you and your attitude to life in general, two drink driving convictions and you either have a drink problem or you really don't have much regard for the law. Either way it doesn't present you in a good light does it? To the Firearms Dept of your local Police you are just a problem waiting to happen. Why should they risk it? Its easier to just say no and save all the grief that might be caused later. They would be silly to make trouble for themselves. I too bought my first shotgun from a mail order catalogue, kept it in the wardrobe. My SGC looked more like a bus ticket. Was there any problem with that? No there wasn't. Nobody asked me any questions, didn't even get a visit. All the stuff now is just creating work for the police, it hasn't made the world a safer place.
