Sgc up for renewel paperwork in weeks ago I receive a text from police firearms team (hants) with please supply the full names and dob of all persons living at your address . followed by the usual vield threat (we will not process your renewal until we recieve this information) wtf anyone else had this or is this going to be the new normal ? . I have had a sgc since 1972 so not new to the game "
Is this a joke ?

Evening,
I've experienced this in Scotland. The reason appears to be; who do you associate with or who may have information/access to your firearms. They might know more about your housemates than you do.
I'm not saying its right but I suspect its becoming more common.

I’ve been asked this for years with various forces. Nothing new
I think it's usual practice to want a bit of background info on who else lives in the house with you, although in my experience this is just the sort of thing that is covered by a brief, non-intrusive and fairly light-hearted chat during one of the FEO's infrequent visits.
Sorry email.

Reasonable? Surely, after giving her majesty pleasure for seven years, even the hardest of armed criminals would re-enter society as a reformed citizen.

There's a box on the A165 (England at least) that the FEO will have with them on the renewal and it asks for anyone who lives at the address over the age of 18 or people who are basically left alone in the house with time to go looking for the keys etc. The question could be asked bluntly or as @VSS says just in conversation and their details added that way.
Standard practice for residents of Basingrad... 
Did my renewal with Hants about 18 months ago & wasn't asked this, just had to confirm no change to circumstances since last renewal.
