I can see light at the end of this tunnel.

Getting them back is one thing, the weeks and months of worry and anguish in what was already a stressful period for you should at least be addressed by the FLD.

Good luck.

Good you can recover them & get on with life etc......good luck with treatment & shooting!

But its a shame you cant actually sue them in court for damages etc as thats whats needed & to set a case precedent for others to use. The way this was done & is looking like it will be resolved, is all off record & non binding 'gentlemen's' agreements. Good for yourself, but useless for anyone else.

For everyone else's benefit - I reiterate?

* If you are an FAC holder you need to have legal cover (NRA, NSRA etc but not BASC).
* Club insurance does not cover you for anything other than other parties whilst shooting at the club.
* Have a contingency plan in place -An RFD on hand, in your phone contacts, with pre agreement to come get them or receive them if needed.
* Never surrender firearms, always refuse & tell them they need to rescind & answer for that in court & that you have legal insurance, they will think twice about it then.
* If you think they are going to be sized reduce them to action, barrel & bolt, ammo, nothing else needs to be handed in but for primers.
* Photograph them, oil inside & out, wrap & put in a box / case to be taken away in.
* Make them count the ammo & primers! & if they want to take cases etc insist on them being counted! each & every one!
* Get a receipt that quotes the case, letter, time-date & police officer ID.
* Have a copy of your FAC in email or in your phone etc to record & access anywhere.
* Record the event on ur phone sound & vision if possible.

They dont insure shooters for legal cover like refusal to renew, or rescinding FAC etc.
