hi all
i am new to this site but i thought i would let everybody know about my little problem with my firearms department. seven weeks ago i had a small bleed on my brain and was admitted to hospital. while i was in hospital my flo popped around to my house to see me but was informed by my partner of my situation . the feo then asked my partner for the keys to my gun cabinate so he could remove my guns from the premises as i was going to bb away for an extended period of time and no firearms certificate holder would be at the address . as my partner did not know where my keys were kept she could not give them to him ! i phoned the flo and explained to him that i would be home in two or three days time and had allready made arangements with my rfd friend . i was out of hospital one day when the head of the firearms department called me to ask me some questions about my well being and to tell me he had spoken to my doctor about my condition and was not overly worried. while i was in hospital i spoke with my consultant about the firearms department who advised me that there is no reason for them to revoke my certificate as i am no different now than before my bleed he also advised me to give feo his address and to send him a letter asking questions regarding my condition . i passed this on to the head of the firearms department who was quite happy with this and would send a letter just to make sure. Today i got a call from my flo stating that they wanted me to surrender my firearms certificate as i was no longer medically fit ! (i will get it back when am better ) they had spoken to my gp today and this was his opinion along with the chief inspector ! i explained to him about speeking to the head of the department weeks ago but there was no note of this in my file and he is on holiday ! i was told not to worry and dont bother getting rid of my guns just yet !! now i have no idea where i stand and have another couple of worring weeks till the head of the department comes back ! is this the normal way of firearms departments
