Hi Ginger

The lending restrictions stem from S15(1) Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 as amended. You can read it here:

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/45/section/15

Note that this is primary legislation. It can only be amended by Act of Parliament, and can only be definitively interpreted by a court. As I think I said already, I have a view on the interpretation. In R v Wells, the jury took the view that lending a LBP was legal in the circumstances of that case. That decision may be persuasive as regards LBRs.

I'll be in touch when I have more information.

Hi Iain,

thank you for the update, but seriously please wait until your return to work, there is no point in working on your holiday.

Thank you for looking into this for various club / NRA members here on the forum.
