100% honesty is absolutely the main thing. I forgot to mention a driving fine on my form, so mentioned it right at the beginning of my interview. Turns out I didn't technically need to mention that specific driving fine because it was the only one that doesn't result in points (Mot), but the FEO said disclosing absolutely everything is still vital. They will know even if you don't tell them!

Nice video, I plan to apply in a few weeks for a firearms license as I have had a shotgun for about 2 years now ( you originally convinced me to apply aswell by the way ).

I’m glad my force finally adopted the online form - now I can bin the cheque book as that was literally the only reason to have one. There is also a section for reporting the acquisition of a firearm which gives you a confirmation code and it works hallelujah!

Great video! Looking forward to the live stream on thursday!

Thank you, these videos are so helpful.

I'm glad that Staffs still use the paper method. Good info though for the on line applications

Taurus made a 17hmr long barrel revolver but they are very very rare.

I used your first video for mine, glad to see you back in action Cal

Great vid bro, im 26 with no friends who shoot or have any background in guns in general, so it is pretty daunting stuff without guidance. Im in south Hampshire but my link to local constabulary is absolute shambles, i can only find the paper one on PDF

Just got mine done dec 2020 after 10 years of owning firearms this was the first year I had to get my gp to fill out and return to me a form (£25 for me but I have heard of horror stories) word of warning my gp was in no hurry to return it. I had to become a pain for them to do it (1.5 months i think). Now I don't have think about forms for 5 years😃

If you're thinking of applying , be prepared for a lengthy wait. I applied last February and have been reliably informed, several times, that the FEO will be in touch. There seems to be an horrendous backlog down in the SW. due to this epidemic. Good luck though.

My force is still doing paper forms and at present are not allowing new applications due to covid...

Ah yes, this gives me memories...

I think Hampshire force would issue handguns reason iam saying this its ask for which handguns caliber you wants as if I they wouldn't mention it if don't issue handguns then they should put in category long barrel pistols

Love your vids can u do a airgun certificate

I could not find a section where to put moderators on. Rifles and calibres but no mention for moderators.

due to covid my area is still closed for new applications :/

I’ve just applied for mine I thought you had to put you wanted a moderator on your rifles but there wasn’t anything about them should I have put that somewhere?

this form has errors callum were it ask firearm type it asks for handgun but handguns are banned but instead they put in the category long barrel pistols and revel overs and we're it says other that shouldn't be there because that means any probhited

Hi so I can take a picture on my phone then upload the file to my sgc application? Thanks

Do you have to do anything else to be able to shoot after the license?

I’ve noticed the online form compared to the paper form isn’t as detailed, some quite important questions are missed off it Had my FAC application returned due to the pandemic which sucks, although they haven’t put a block on their site for online applications! So anyone doing it now will have it cancelled and a refund! They could at least put a not on their site (west Mercia)

German here. About to complete my license and will buy my first AR in .223rem when I turn 18 😁

Where are you based would love to meet you live near Romsey into shooting dad is applying for rifle license at the moment would you give any advice on Calibre sizes and specific details

Just 2 Questions on applying for a firearms licence. 1st - Where it says ( suicidal thoughts or self-harming ), if you put yes, even though it's been a while, will that just cancel you being able to get a license from then on ?. 2nd - Where it says to put where your going to shoot, does that mean you can ( Only ) shoot in those places, or if another place comes along later to shoot for example ( A Friends Field ) , do you need to go through the system again, or can you just go and shoot if you have the owner's permission too ?. Thanks for any ( help / advice ) on my Questions, wanting to get my licence, but not sure if I'll be able too.

next year my licences come up. It will be the first time I do an online one. The picture must be less than 2MB I believe to upload. So will have to work out a way to get the jpg under 2MB!

They're carrying out new licenses now?

I got 3 points for going through a red light 10 years or more ago, how do I find the date that happened?

Hi. Where it asking for the calibre and type. What does the type mean

Hi, if we wait for the Doctor to complete his form before we complete the FAC application will the police wonder why they have received a doctors form and no FAC application??

Hi Callum, i need some guidance chap. How do i find out the dates of speeding fines that ive had. I have tried the on the web put in my NI number license number d.o.b etc and all i get is there are no current offences and yet ive had some dating back around 20 years but i don’t remember the bloody dates. Is there a site i can get that info from. Bob

Hi Callum, Ive had SGC for 2yrs, now member of H.O practical shooting club and I will be applying for FAC in about 10 weeks, I would like to apply for 3 x .22 Rifle, 1 x .22 LBP & 2 x mag fed shotgun, do you think this would be a resonable request?

Would anybody know the ammunition capacity for a 5 gun safe with ammunition storage?

Have your certificates been granted yet?

Can I still apply for a shotgun certificate if I'm not a member of a club? My intention is to visit various pay and play grounds.

I hope to apply when I’m 18 or 20

I just got my shotgun certificate how many shotguns can I buy?

I’ve had a few minor speeding offences over the 33yrs I’ve been driving. How on earth do I source the occasions and dates of those??

What website is it

I don't have 10 years of GP history, will my application be rejected?

When renewing a firearms certificate do you have to go through the interview process again etc. Or not?

As an old fart, I don't have a clue how online works so I'm going to have to stick to paper and a check.

Hi Callum. Only traffic offense I have was a speeding ticket when driving in Germany in December 2019. Do I list this?

Is it necessary to declare a caution from 30 years ago?

You didn't mention that most GPs charge a fee for a GP form & can refuse,my local range has a 1 year waiting list to join & then it's £140 annual fee, on top of that my FEO regards only of those in the pest control business should be granted a firearm.

Hi. Where on the form do you add a moderator?

A hunk of paperwork Ahh.

Hi callum are 22 wmr pistols allowed on fac or is only 22lr please let me know thankyou

Im 14 and im applying for one

Just come across the pond friend cash and carry

This process seems ludicrous. Nanny state shit. Most of this is none of their damn business.

Always a tad tragic when our American friends mock G.B firearm laws and shooting life. Latest 2021 U.S statistics state 20,726 died as a result of shootings, intentional and unintentional. While G.B suffered from 155 deaths. Staying alive is much more important, honestly. 12.21 per 100k vs 0.23 per 100k.

This is too lenient, I would prefer Japan as a model for the United States.

I think Hampshire force would issue handguns reason iam saying this its ask for which handguns caliber you wants as if I they wouldn't mention it if don't issue handguns then they should put in category long barrel pistols
