I gave up my certs a few years ago due to life, safe storage and money issues, and just not being able to shoot as much. Was a shame but made sense at the time. Still shot now and again (I think we would all go mad if we couldn't!) but using mates shotguns.
Reapplied middle of December, had my FEO home visit on 14/04 and had my SGC and FAC through the door 25/04 - everything I asked for and an open ticket. No mistakes on either cert.
GMP really have their act together compared to 5+ years ago. Their FLM, Detective Inspector Akker is nice, personable, approachable and really seems to have pulled the unit together. Id also like to thank my lovely new FEO Louise. The absolute legend who is John Atherton has retired now, and incase he ever reads this I truly wish him all the best.
The FLM team is doing a drop in day at Cheshire Gun room in Bolton on 16/05 with on the day variations issued and all questions answered for people looking to get their tickets. I'm impressed how they are working with the community.
If any community members also under GMP have any questions on their cert path etc, feel free to DM me.
