[QUOTE="thesilentone, post: 8223099, member: 6194"] Sadly, the Police and Medical Profession together have made a real pigs-ear of firearms licencing. It now appears neither want to be liable for who is ultimately responsible should a problem occur. In the past, the whole matter was dealt with by the Police, the Government changed that, and introduced the need for a medical report. The medical (private) profession would only agree to make "best efforts" to support the new system, where in some areas in it no issue, in others some GP practices flatly refuse. GP charges for this service are all over the place, ranging from less than £50 to above £100. Times and delays for renewals are equally as inconsistent as has been seen in this thread. One thing is for certain, things must change. Regarding mental problems, most suffer from some sort of mental issue in there life at some point, thankfully most don't need medical help, however some do. The whole shambles that we are dealing with when renewing shotgun certificates is bound to put people on-guard. Robt had no problem renewing a shotgun certificate, and rightly so, however the current inconsistencies question would a different force handled it differently, or would they have allowed a firearms licence renewal ? As I say, in many areas the whole thing is a shambles. [/QUOTE]
