Nevetas, is this the form you have to fill in, or is there an Essex police application form?
http://www.cambs.police.uk/caminfo/firearms/faqs.asp

Betts said I could get a form from the post office, but they kept trying to give me a passport form!!

thanks mate

You can print it online

Don't forgot you need a gun safe, mounted to the wall.

Cheers

Just send it in anyway, then discuss all this when the officer makes the visit.

If it's rejected you get your money back anyway IIRC.

Youve got nothing to loose.

Thanks Nevetas, I'm going to have a chat with my uncle as he used to shoot a lot!
he's had 12 bores u/o s/s, and pump actions, he may still have his guns I know he did when he moved a few years back

was talking to my uncle, and he recommends a beretta for around £500 as it's lighter and good for a starter gun

I've now got a gun safe lined up, lets see how the police react to my application

Hiya,

As you need to discuss some issues with them just apply for shotgun first, if you get that, then apply for FAC after 3 months.
