My second FAC renewal is up in Feb (blimey 15 years ), I sent all the paper work in beginning of December.

Just had a call from my FEO and he sorted it all over the phone, including a couple of slots for a second .22RF and a .260Rem apparently my cert should be in the post shortly

How simple is that, much respect to them for a sensible approach

Dont tell me it's 15 years since you bought that PSS?

Second renewal at 15 years? Surely that should be your third ...

Seems as though some authorities take a sensible view with long standing customers. Mine was a 10 minute visit mainly to speak about one particular S5 that I own and he seemed to need to be in my area for some reason. And my cert was with me about 3 days later.

Maybe Cambs and the Met could get together and bid to take on Thames Valley's operations in place of G4Slow.

Grant. Renewal. Renewal

So, Grant to Renewal 1 >>> 5 years
Renewal 1 to Renewal 2 >>> 5 years

Total 10.

No mate that was about 9 or 10 years ago

Have you still got it, by the way?

Yep if you count the action.... , If you recall I posted a couple of times about the transformation it went through.

My last renewal was just a phone interview. I wasn't adding anything extra and hadn't changed any security arrangements so it was pretty straightforward. The only thing mentioned was carrying slots across from my last certificate that I hadn't bought yet, but that turned into a conversation about the EU being bar stewards and not having a clue about guns so it was all good!
