Gun licence fees going up again.

Cant help himself……

1. Limited by flo
2. Is your gp an anti or just wants £300 ?
3. And wait, and wait and wait
4. Assuming they dont insist on you putting your guns into storage

You live in an arsehole part of the country then!

What have I said that is incorrect?

The counter argument will be firearms licensing is given of a unique relevance to Public safety and is therfore justified. The best we may hope for - some would say demand - is improved service delivery on all fronts.

However this can be dispelled with a quick look at stats on gun crime figures for legally held firearms.

And the argument in favour would be the Home Office desire to ensure a continued downward trend on such figures; however negligible they may be in the scheme of things.

Keeping an iron-fisted 'cap' on unhelpful figures is a core function of how all Government Departments operate unless its Dover Border Control!

Think the whole country is fast heading that way for many reasons

I don’t disagree on the slightest

Fair. Sadly.

I 100% get what your saying. But what hasn't increased in price over the last 10 years?
I'm with you on the fact the level of service you get shouldn't be a postcode lottery. I'm Northants and my last variation was 5 months. Friend in Lincolnshire had it done one done in 2 weeks.

If they hadn’t gone up in 10 years I’d take your point but they’ve gone up twice in the last couple of years with the post saying that fees will increase with inflation, so the increase will be constant, whilst service, for many, is reducing.

Given the huge variation in administrative times for grant/renewal and the similar variation in cost of this administration, we aren't getting value for money, those are issues that the shooting organisations need to address.

here lies the problem

There isn’t 1 single shooting organisation in the UK that’s worth being a member of, none have them have any clout and all they spout is ****, wind and hot air!

Pot, kettle?

Pot, kettle?

Yeah but I’m not charging, my wisdom is all free of charge!

 

[Greenmist]

Still cheaper than 5k plus a year on fags

Is that what kier was paying them, too soon

In all fairness to the NGO they did sort out the West Mercia issue recently.

I'll say it again everyone complains but I regularly see people who are complaining asking about 5k rifle set ups and spending massive money on stalking but the cost of the licence to enable you to have those things is tooo expensive. It's really simple you need to keep in a separate account the money each year ready for your renewal

 

[RCS Deer Management]

It may be free, but can we still have a little less of it?

The NGO team have helped multiple people that I know when firearms licensing have tried overstepping the mark.
