A few months ago our NDN approached DH to ask if he could put his name down as a reference, because he and his DW were planning on applying for gun licences. My DH said yes but the reference request has never arrived.
Over the intervening months there has been much chat from him about guns, gun cabinets, etc and now it seems he's bought a cabinet and installed it so I guess he has the licence (I know nothing about guns btw).
Although he is lovely and chatty to speak to, he has told us he's had severe MH problems in the past and been on medication for it (I also know nothing about MH issues, btw). I am friends with him on Facebook and 90% of posts are Britain First type propaganda about killing Muslims and immigrants. He also hates cats and jokes casually about how he would shoot one on his property if he had a gun. He boasted a couple of years ago about shooting a cat with an air rifle (are these unlicensed? No idea).
I've got real concerns about this neighbour owning a gun as I think he's a bit of a loose cannon. I don't know his wife at all. I'm not sure what my AIBU is really, just seeking advice about guns from people who might know about them. Can I assume he's been vetted carefully and they deem him fit to own guns? Would it include vetting of Facebook posts?
Put it this way my DD wants a cat and there is no way we are getting one whilst he's got a gun next door...
