Shot Gun Certificate Application

[bigTee]

...... In the any convictions part, do i need to list minor speeding offences? such as SP30.

I also went to court for totting up, but didn't lose my licence.....

Ta!

I did and it didn't affect me gaining a certificate. The officer who visited said it counts quite heavily against you if you omit information like this.

[bigTee]

what about a caution for something?? Thats not really a conviction is it?

[bigTee]

and is a Managing Director ok to sign the countersignature as they can with Passports?

[whitechief]

I don't know about a caution, but what he was getting at was don't try and bullst us because we know all about you.

[Smirnoff]

put down everything, they will only check and if you dont mention something they find you wont get the certificate!

[Lambochick]

Mention any/all convictions, including those for speeding. If you don't and they discover you have a conviction for speeding, and they will, they will question your honesty and therefore your suitability to hold a shotgun.

Caution must be declared,the speeding offence need not but won't hurt your application if you do.I didn't bother with mine.
Managing director should be ok but given the caution I'd go for JP/solicitor/teacher/bank manager/priest etc.
Best of luck
