[Mike2]

On 29th September, it is almost certain that the government is going to publish its response to the Home Affairs Enquiry into fireams law.

You'll see all the details on

Thanks for the heads up, Mike...I think I'm glad I just renewed both certs.

Oh joygasm. *Well* looking forward to this :cool2:

Thanks for the heads up. I'm guessing this is the Bird-shootings enquiry?

No - it's not in reaction to the Cumbria shootings - but it was triggered by them. (pun unintentional).

It was an enquiry into Firearms controls generally

See http://www.parliament.uk/business/commi ... s-control/

But better still, watch the video - it's good ! http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/ ... 305517.stm

Still awaiting the publication.......

Hold onto your ankles everybody!! :?

On a very quick first read, I see nothing too threatening from my perspective. More worrying for airgunners and those with just
Shotguns.

The damage will come when the Committee review the various bits of legislation and consolidate them into one act, that's gonna hurt!

Has it been released?? If so can you put on a hyperlink? Or are you just referring to the recommendations document in Mike2's post?

[Mike2]

It hasn't been released yet (13: 37, 29/9/11) - I agree Mike357 is probably quoting from my crystal ball gazing area :)

I've spoken again to the Home Office, but it does seem that "imminent" may be referring to a geological timescale......

I'll post on our website when I get a result.

:cool2: Sorry, had my spazz head on and didn't read it properly

Well its time to start saving for a massive safe for my shotgun carts and for my renewal, but worst of all the absolute death of a right to own a firearm (Loss of Section 2)

I wonder what the storage requirements for straw baler clay clubs is going to be?? :?
