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)

Could we have a link to the actual ammendments as a lot can get changed once scum journalists get a hold of it.

At this stage it is Tabled, as far as my understanding this means it is being considered, not yet law.

So to say "no longer section 5", and "can now" be shot/borrowed is misleading. As of yet the law hasn't changed, however, it does look good, if this goes through.

From what I can see it's at the House Of Commons Report Stage.

It still has to be presented at the house of Lords and then It will be considered by both sides before being made law.

This new clause would help to ensure full costs recovery of the licencing of guns.

Fine by me, I've never been issued a licence for any of my guns.
Don't know anyone else who has had one either.

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...
