The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Hi All

Before this goes the way of the previous thread can I ask that if you have advice for others, want to discuss shooting organisations, talk about insurance etc. then please start your own threads.

Appreciate the words of support everyone it does raise the sprits.

Anyway: update!!!!

Had a call from the FEO today arranging to come over next Tuesday. He's spoken to my oncology nurse and had an update (I've asked him not to share it with me; until my next scan of 12th Sep there's no telling yet how well treatment has gone). He first wants a chat with my wife to see how she's doing and then a chat with myself.

I think it's positive otherwise why would he waste his time with a home visit? I'll let you know how it goes....

Bravo -

Agreed keep legal side alive. Durham police appear to have done similar to a person in their domain working through a Ca health issue. Very sorry you have had to go through this.

Update....

Had the FEO visit. Spoke to my wife separately for 30 minutes, she was very impressed by how he discussed her mental health problems etc. In her words, 'he was lovely'.

Spoke with me for about the same time, discussed my cancer, treatment, post-treatment options (cured, 'on-going' management, terminal).
He said in his opinion having my guns back and getting some quiet range time in would be best for my own 'coping' strategy.
He's not sure if his boss (the licensing Inspector) will want to wait for my next test results to see what happens next though.
He has zero issues with the family discussion (aka 'fight') that started this all off back in February; he understood completely that couples have fights and this was a 'normal' reaction to my cancer diagnosis and not any ongoing 'domestic problem'.

No mention of my legal challenges from either of us. Really not sure if he's aware of it or not.

To give him credit, he asked for permission to contact my GP (which I gave) but I said he might find they don't want to engage.....so he's driving there to see them face-to-face to put them on the spot!

When I get the licensing managers decision I'll let you know the result or

Cheers

Excellent news, sounds very promising.

Alan

Good luck, sounds like it's moving in the right direction!

Best of luck Dave

Moving forwards, good news. Things sound very hopeful.

Just a shame it had to come to this.

Great news and fingers crossed!

Quick question....has anyone had an FEO knock on their door and ask if they've ever heard loud arguments coming from next door or had any 'problems' with their neighbours?

Just found out my neighbours have.

Sounds like something from a George Orwell book
