hi all i am in the middle of writing out an important document and it has asked "have you had any convictions since you last applied" and the one in question is a Fixed Penalty Notice, does this count as a conviction as its only a fine . which was paid in full before the due date so what do i write

[Posse]

no m8 points are convictions

[jamie k]

thank you

[caprinerd]

if it aint on your licence it dont exist

[jamie k]

to be honest didnt want to mention it as i dont want any anti's trying to replenish my soul but i am filling in my firearms certificate renewal .

 

just incase anyone coments about being incharge of a gun and disturbing the peace i was out with fiends who couldnt keep quite when stopped they gave cheek we ALL got a £40 fine (fpn) and i never thought of it till now

 

so im in a slight panic mode as i help run a shooting syndicate and pest controal is a majoure part of what i do .

 

the application forum only states any CONVICTIONS must be declared so what would you write .

 

think ill need to phone the police tomorow as i only paid the fine because i thought it would be easiest thing to do instead of going to court , but it seems i may have made matters worse but as we were in a crowd i technicaly was still at fault . for not leaving the rowdey group

[countrybumpkin]

to be honest i dont think that will count agaist you, i work for the military and some of our guys have done a lot worse and still got clearance to work on military sites

thanks mate phoned police hq (firearms department) said it would need to be stated but should be fine, only if i didnt put it down and it came up this could be seen as dishounesty in some issuing officers eyes .
