Aye but it’s still half of what was predicted .. it’s not £400 !! I have fac and shot gun certs , I don’t think it’s unfair that we pay the cost or some where near what it actually costs to process them , and if actually means we get shorter processing times I’m all up for it. 

Let us know if they increase the personnel in your local cuntstabulary firearms office? I wouldn’t bet on it🤔

On a positive, I got a little .177 BB pistol the other day for plinking, hella lot of fun.

 

And just got an Stoeger XM1 in .22, so that will be a bit of an upgrade from the old break barrel 177 used at the mo😅

No they probably won’t but the way the world is going and every thing being anti hunting , fishing and anti every thing else I enjoy in life, do we need to give antis more reason and justification to just all pack up ?  if the police are saying it’s costing them £400 per application and there are huge back logs , people are loosing their guns , people are having to get there guns in storage as things are not being processed fast enough , people are not even getting first time certs , can we complain if we are not contributing to the system that we rely on that is a shambles and under funded ? Yes I get the current government are a bunch of wankers , but in all honesty so was the last lot , it has not gone up £400 as predicted and I’m glad of that, if things don’t improve then I see we have a point to complain , if it goes up to £400 without any further improvement then definitely but  I don’t see half that as too bad.

That’s not the point Matty.

It should be about £50 for a renewal, they literally do f-all.

 

The police can ****************k off, they’re stupidly inefficient, corrupt and lazy.

If it is costing them £400 every time they should look inwards, not outwards.

Majority of police budgets go to pay the pensions of ex police. Twenty five years in gets full pension for the next 60 years, unless anything has changed.

I’ll agree to disagree then mate, I get you but  … I’ve more of a problem being charged £90 a year for my salmon and sea trout rod licence when I can go to Scotland and do it for free ..when there’s poachers walking about doing wtf they want all over the rivers I fish and the EA who we pay are dumping millions of tons of sewage in the river.. any way F all to do with shooting but I know it costs them more than £50 to process a licence.. especially if they have to do a home visit… let’s face it if they can’t do a proper job then we are going to get more freaks like the idiot from Plymouth and that won’t benefit any one.

Hum, fishing without a license is what a fine?.

 

Owning or using a firearm without a license is a stay at his majesty's displeasure.

 

Oh and for your 90 do they comb through your criminal history, life, family etc etc ?.

My point is you don't have every part of your life investigated and trawled through for going fishing.

 

Hell, even a school DBS check is £50 just to check your not disbarred and a wrongun.

How many people who cause death by dangerous driving had driving licences? Most of them.

 

It's bollocks. Don't defend them and don't give them an inch.
