Steve is certainly correct on this. The Police have no
authority to allow you to possess firearms without either
an FAC or temporary permit. Granted, the force involved
is unlikely to report you for illegal possession in this case
but what happens if you house gets done and it turns out
that unlicenced firearms were pinched, you *will* get
done as a result I guarantee it. Even if the court sees
your side of things and gives you an unconditional
discharge, you still have a conviction for illegal
possession on your record that may prohibit you from
owning firearms for a very long time.

Well, firearm certificate renewal is the most basic of
basic functions a licensing dept. has to do, the law on
it is pretty clear and so is the guidance. D&G are
obviously not following it because I would love to see
them personally interview a referee who may live in
London for example!
The police acting in a fuzzy way is what led to a nutcase
like Thomas Hamilton keeping his FAC when he was obviously
unfit to hold one, and we shouldn't let the police do
it without protesting about it, I don't care how nice
they happen to be as people.
