Indeed, but do you want the hassle, expense, worry of waiting for months for your day in court? I'd rather know now!

Apologies for the late response however the subject you have highlighted has raised considerable discussion at this end and at the moment I am seeking clarification on this matter in conjunction with other Scottish Police Forces so as to ensure consistency of approach.

It would be nice if we knew that our gun law was based on common sense, was clear and that we were being utterly compliant.
