UK Gun Crime Up
davidlandy:
gun crime up - thats because they spend too much time focusing on motorists

Hand gun ban worked wonders for the membership numbers of a lot of clubs over the channel. Lot cheaper than it was in the UK, and free secure storage for members.
I believe that Belgium is the most popular, but know of a couple of German clubs with UK members, and I would think that there will be quite a few in France.
I'm still wondering why a black powder revolver should be exempt though, a .45 lead ball makes a hell of a mess .
Local copper handed his in, changed his permit and bought a short semi auto carbine real logic there as well.
This law was a knee jerk reaction, badly thought through, and should be repealed asap.

I was looking in a Gun shop while in Czech, was thinking of getting that Glock when I move. Perhaps I would set up a Police Pistol range in my back field.

Different Tangent.
When I last looked, there is no central Firearms Register. The Cops all hold local records but no database. Allegedly it will cost "millions to implement" I remeber that so bloke on the register (geeks newspaper) said that his son could do it for them for his A level project!.
Obviously this is no help re the illegal stuff, strange I was only thinking of this the other day.

At least some time was spent making sure that the owner wasnt a fruitcake (Guy at Dunblane had no Licence iirc)

Shouldn't have had an FAC, but the local police's input was over-ruled and he did have one.
