Variations , how annoying are they ?

[shakey jake]

£1 a week is NOTHING in the grand scheme of things

I’ll pay it all day long

How did you get £1 a week?

 

[tackb]

whilst not asked i will give my opinion ,

once you are granted permission to own a number of firearms i don't think it matters a jot what they are from handguns to 50cals etc you are either safe to have firearms or you are not and in that spirit it's nothing to do with the authorities really what you buy and sell up to your security level , safety is your responsibility and the places you use them have rules about energy etc so the range will stop you using a 50cal if it exceeds the energy limit etc

so there is absolutely no reason for licensing to make everything so slow and difficult for us and to charge us so much for such a poor service ?

unless they have an ulterior motive?

Apologies £8.33 a week, if you can’t afford that you need to pack up

£1.19 a day when you really break it down, if you that hard up quit drinking and smoking

I agree...

"A "good reason" for a firearm certificate is required by law (Firearms Act 1968)
to ensure public safety and verify that the firearm is necessary for legitimate purposes, such as work, sport, or shooting club membership. It confirms the applicant has a legitimate need, suitable storage, and a vetted background and is not a danger to the public."

However, “Good Reason” is not required to acquire a Ferrari Daytona with a top speed of 211 mph

How did you get that figure?

Apologies maths all ****ed up trying to multitask.

£500 for 5 year ticket = £100 per 12 months

£100 divided by 12 = £8.33 a month

£8.33 divide by 4 = £2.08 a week

Now tell me £500 for a five-year ticket is unaffordable

That makes sense, yes i agree.
Glad we got there i ran out of toes to make semse of the numbers

 

[Greenmist]

£500 is maybe a little steep Lee ... but then if you are giving up shooting it wont affect you

For a 10 year FAC (should be soon as we now have the doctors letter and medical marker ) it would be easier the bear

It is what it is, chances of getting a 10 year ticket Slim to none, you can blame the Doctors certificate on the idiots to make the rest of us legal Firearms certificate holders **** wits they to blame not the law

 

[Greenmist]

Move to Essex! They'll do a variation at the Game Fair / Stalking Show etc. so you can get it all done & dusted there and then. Brilliant service. Shame some of the other Forces don't seem to be able to provide similar as if one can do it, they all should be able to surely?

Some can do renewals on time as well

Possibly, but I can remember and I'm sure you can, we used to have 3 year certificates

I’ve only known 5 year tickets.

Really there is no point in winging about it, you want to do it, you pay the coin or surrender you guns that’s the way it will go

Simple, don't sell!

Not unaffordable for me, at any rate. Others, I'm not so sure.

Unjustifiable, though: since it is a document we need in order to exercise a right in law.

Unless, of course, you consider the Police and the Home Office approach, which appears to be to use the fee as a means of reducing the number of (legally-held only, of course) firearms in the hands of the public, appropriate?

Unless, of course, you're on the side of the Police and the Home Office who habitually use the fee as a means of reducing the number of (legally-held only, of course) firearms in the hands of the public.

If it gets in, pay or surrender your tickets simple as that

Sell a rifle but need a variation to then get a vacant slot for the same type of gun , then miss the 7 day window and get screwed for £50 to get a slot you already had !

Stupid stupid process.
Why can you just inform them of selling and get a replacement cert with the empty slots back automatically.

Money grabbing , that’s all it is .

I suspect it was one of these things that seemed like a good idea at the time to a public official. If they wanted to focus their time on the areas of risk this would be a good thing to bin. It reduces risk not one jot.

I’m not going to get drawn into arguing with you as there isn’t anything to be gained, but you really are a tit. Iv never met someone so anti shooting/stalking who still professes to be an expert at it. You keep saying about packing in, just hurry up and stop typing so much crap.
