No more expanding bullet/S1 shotgun nonsense (less anyway!)

while they they are at it, how about getting .22lr pistols back? hoping to much i suppose

[joe]

Quite so, ooman, quite so. We're just given a certificate to say we haven't blotted our copybook and so our right to own arms has not been forfeit...

if we are certified ok and our right to arms havent been forfeit, then how can it be legal / correct to ban some types of firearms to us ? its contridiction in terms ! oh wait i'm applying logic and common sense go gun laws !

Yeah sorry about the wording, what can I say I was excited about the possibility and also heading off for a big PSG comp where I probably wouldn't have internet access and typing in the back of a car!

Clearing silliness like this out of the firearms legislation has got to be a good thing so lets hope it does go through

Amendments to firearms law that benefits us? Whatever next?

Expanding ammo no longer Section 5 and LBR/LBP and S1 shotguns can now be shot/borrowed by other FAC holders (if the report is true)

Hopefully this sensible rule change will be adopted. Currently we have a situation were a club member might want to sell a LBR/LBP or S1 shotgun and an interested person isn't allowed to try it out to see if it suits them. Even sillier, both my Dad and I owned LBP and yet technically we weren't allowed to shoot each others pistols.
