But you are missing  the main thrust of what I said. In the 
paragraph you quoted it was the figure of 5% I was 
questioning. I'm perfectly willing to accept that there may 
be a number of dodgy FAC holders, and I do know of a 
couple of very recent revocations, that im sure IG knows 
of, that if what I hear is correct are definatley warranted. I 
find a figure of 5% difficult to accept though as this 
ammounts to a rather large number of people in every 
force area. 

Given my own experiance of FAC holders and the number 
of dangerous or illegal acts that are perpetrated by them, 
I would have to say that the figure of 5% is definatley an 
gross over estimation.

In 1995 there were 172,150 FACs on issue and 740,200 SGCs
on issue in Great Britain.

There were 120 refusals to grant an FAC and 380 refusals to
grant a SGC.  There were 110 refusals to renew an FAC and
140 refusals to renew a SGC.  There were 230 revocations of
an FAC and 720 revocations of SGCs.

Someone do the math please.
