New super refusing renewals

insignia33

This is a hypothetical situation- but may soon enough be a real issue. I just want to be prepared.

The old super was a country man himself and wouldnt have any objections to given a lad a shotgun or 223.

The new super has a reputation for been a real hard-ass in another district. "A .223 is overkill, get a hornet"..... "so its a silencer you want? not on my watch your not".

When I put in my renewals can this new guy refuse me or give me hassle?

Sorry for giving you a short answer but nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what the Super is thinking.

Strictly speaking, the Super can't have blanket bans on types of guns etc. Each case has to be judged on it's own merits. In reality though, some are more reluctant to licence certain types of firearms than others.

The fact that they are renewals should make it a bit easier though. You already have the guns and aren't causing problems with them (as far as I know)

Stick in your renewals and see how you get on. You might be worrying unecessarily.

I know in the case of a new app its pretty much down to the individual super.

But I was just thinking since you already have the license for the past 3 years it mightened just be so easy to refuse it without a good reason.

Fair enough he might refuse new applications, but hopefully for renewals he'll just have to grit his teeth and stamp them. Hopefully.

Simple answer, yes.

If you've kept your nose clean for the past 3 years then you shouldn't have any problems. I do stress the word "shouldn't" though.

But then again, a hell of a lot of lads with centrefire pistols were refused their renewals even though they did nothing wrong.

Yeh I was worried that would be the answer.

Sure we'll see what happens.

Actually, you're thinking of a different question Battle. If the OP was asking will the new super do this, you're perfectly correct. If he was asking can the new super do this, the answer's short and sour - yes, he can. There are precious few limitations to the super's (or chief super for restricted licences) legal powers when it comes to the yes/yes with conditions/no decision on licence applications.

My original Licence back ten years ago stated .220 instead of .22lr.

I didnt stress too much about it until my local FAO moved station and was replaced by a much younger,keener replacement who caled up wanting to see teh secure storage on account of there being a .220 rifle there....when i showed her the gun she realised it was a mistake and ammended the licence however it would've been better if they'd put the right info on the oroginal cert.
