Make sure you are already a member of a shooting organisation that will fight your case. It will be too late if you leave it until you move.

Exactly this /\ /\ Particularly as there's a push to get all FLD's 'singing from the same hymn sheet' at the moment (so they can jack up costs :roll: ). Personally i don't think you've got anything to worry about

I am pretty sure that in the recently published HO Guidelines there is a section covering this very topic and providing advice to Chief Constables about FAC holders moving into their patch.

Can be found on the library section I believe.

Move house and do your transfer, they've probably got more pressing matters than someone who's already got an FAC.

Good luck :cheers:

I always found the met firearms licensing team to be excellent. I lived in a shared house for a number of years and had no issues with keeping firearms at home subject to the usual security arrangements.
