Flash Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 applying for my first FAC, but somewhat stuck for my referees. im originally from devon but now live in dorset. because of this majority of my good friends live at least 90 miles away. i currently live with the family of two lads who i went to college with and have known them and the family for at least 8 years, including of there GFs who i also went to college with. am i correct in thinking that even though i live with them they are suitable for referees. both of them including there dad who i have known for the same time all have FACs, and have done for as long as i have known them. basically would any of the 4 options be acceptable for my referees. also one of the forms is called a continuation sheet, on this do i write about reasons for wanting each calibre, and also that i have my DSC1, and what experience i have with shooting and handling firearms? cheers tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I thought referees couldn't be FAC holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylan5588 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I thought referees couldn't be FAC holders? Both my ref's were FAC holders, when i renewed last year, I think its just RFDs that cannot be ref for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 It must have been the RFD bit I read. My mistake. That also makes my life easier come renewal time as I've been on a recruiting drive and both my previous referees now have FACs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted105 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Mine were FAC holders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hancock Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Mine were initially "professional persons of good standing" who had known me for two years plus, second and third time around were similar but FAC holders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
