Go down the medi cert route and tip them bolicks
Formal complaint to gmc and swap practices and get all family members and friends to do same but be sure to tell practice mgr why! Hit them in the pocket
Shotgun Medicals is who I went with, good service and very prompt.
My GP said the same, again this should be brought into legislation, a GP needs to know they're professionally stating the mental side of the applicant not whether they agree with gun ownership. To be honest I respect their view as an individual but I also don't care, I want you to state in your professional capacity whether you are aware or have any concerns over my mental health period!

As above!
I've heard of cases like this before, it sounds very unprofessional on the doctors part, their personal opinion has no bearing on the application.

Doctors are absolutely allowed to refuse
They aught to refer you to another Doctor though
I'd go through some kind of private service like the one mentioned above

Don't use MedCert.
They let me down badly. Sent them the form and frr and nearly 4 months later, following a string of excuses they had still not produced a report.
I think we should all make a complaint to the GMC and our local MPs every time a GP refuses on these grounds. Its outright discrimination and GPs do not have the right to judge or impose their personal views on patients.
Ultimately the GP is being asked to carry out a box ticking exercise. If you have a lengthy medical history they will need to spend time going through your records. If you havent seen them in decades it should be simple exercise. I can see why some refuse as they are operating as a professional consultant out side the NHS. I dont agree with any of them refusing though as they arent being asked their personal opinion on firearms ownership. On that basis presumably some GP`s refuse to sign off HGV drivers as they may kill someone. Hmmm. Finally - probably the biggest mass killer in the UK - Harold Shipman - GP.
And the consequences for the GP for not doing it are???????
…….
The judge was scathing about the police's decision to impose unlawful restrictions on the GP.
Put simply, he didn't see any need to interfere with the legitimate right of the GP to not engage in the process.
Case dismissed
Clearly an arsehole….its not about personal opinions - it’s stating the mental status of a patient. They should be forced to complete it.
I don’t like the oil and gas I help produce going to hipster, tree hugging green hypocrites but I have no say as it’s my job….this should be no different.
