Well my FAC application went in the post about 4 weeks ago. My firearms enquiry officer called me a couple of days ago to arrange a home visit. He seemed friendly enough, and then pointed out that South Yorkshire police will be looking to place a restriction on my ticket sasying I have to go out accompanied until I have passed my DSC level 1 course!
I explained that I have completed an introduction to stalking course and that I can handle a firearm safely. I also asked him to go through ALL of the paperwork I had sent and to take a look at a certificate from the company who perform the training course I attended. And to see the section where it states I have demonstrated competent rifle use.
By the time he arrives at my home I'll have a letter from my instructor stating that he believes I can stalk unaccompanied safely. But I wondered if anyone else had come across such problems?
Regards
MJ
