Grum87 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 My local force took 3 days shy of 6 months to do a change of conditions on one of my rifles. Although recently processed a variation in 6 working days..... I have to admit I utterly lost the rag with them over the 6 month episode. But I did send them a nice Christmas card..... I've also NEVER had the ticket issued as it should be first time after any requested changes. Conditions are always all over the shop, permission for expanding missing, etc, etc. Always has to go back to be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaedra1106uk Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Carnt wait to move to County Durham were these issues are non existent I've always known TV were slow but this is ridiculous Be careful what you wish for, you may find you're jumping from the frying pan into the fire While they may be quicker (most times) on renewals Durham make up for it in other ways, refusal to issue Sec.7's unless forced, adding additional un-required pages to renewal/grant forms, almost 2yrs of insisting on applicants getting medical refs from their GPs and a general level of incompetence that staggers belief. Just read the IPCC report into the Atherton/Horden shootings https://www.ipcc.gov.uk/sites/default/files/Documents/investigation_commissioner_reports/Michael_Atherton_report.PDF Whilst they have improved in some ways since the Atherton incident they still don't like people having firearms, the Chief Constable and PCC are both anti-shooting.

phaedra1106uk Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Aim a bit further North and try and find somewhere in the Northumbria Police area, a much better department in every way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That bald headed Geordie Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks for the info Phaedra 1106uk I wasn't aware of these other issues I will be moving up there in the next 5 years or so either when the kids have flown the nest or my tied cottage job ends just got to find a house between Bishop Auckland and Consett Come to shooter friendly Northumbria (anywhere north of the Tyne) and NOT County Durham. Things seem to go swimmingly well on FACs unless you have been a naughty boy and you will soon be on the 'naughty step'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
