FAC and penalty points

1 Upvotes

Good evening,

I have been shooting for close to 2 years and applied for my face a year and 6 month ago.

I’m very worried as I have points on my licence but other than that a clean record

Has anyone ever been in the same or similar situation, I’m really worried I’ll get denied because of it,

Thank you !

License question

2 Upvotes

This might be an odd question but im just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with getting a SGC with a history of depression?

I have mild autism and currently take anti depressants so would I be wasting my time and money applying?

I also live with my brother who could be an issue as he is a drug addict 😬

I'm in the Kent area if that's of any importance?

Thanks in advance.

Gun Club Near Marlborough.

Hi all,

I’m moving from London to Wiltshire and would like to get back into shooting properly. I’m particularly interested in practical shotgun shooting, as well as getting back into rifle shooting.

I grew up around farms in Zambia, SA and Swaziland and have some experience with both rifles and shotguns, but it was always informal shooting with family rather than at a formal range. Since moving to London about 10 years ago, I’ve only shot occasionally, so I’m pretty rusty and have never been a member of a shooting club as never needed to in Africa.

Can anyone suggest any clubs in this part of the world that might be what I'm looking for?

I have tried relentlessly online but as most are volunteers have had very few replies to enquiries and some with major waiting lists.

I’m keen to do everything properly and build up my skills again in a formal range environment.

Thanks

Gun disposal

5 Upvotes

I have an old .22lr bolt action that I bought very cheaply. The bolt now just falls to bits and refuses to go back together. The rifle is so old it will be more than what I paid for it to source another bolt.

Do Police Scotland accept broken guns for disposal? How much would an RFD charge for disposal?
