CS: Legal-Knives
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Help I'm confused about these knife laws Could anyone tell me what I am and not allowed to carry. What is the definition of carry, i.e. on person, in bag etc What is the law regarding lockknives, can I have one or not Can I get done for having my spydierco knife on me ? Thanks in advance David -- Oh dear, now you've asked for it. The law is that you can't carry anything other than an ordinary pocket knife with a blade length of maximum 3 inches without lawful authority or reasonable excuse. An ordinary pocket knife has been wittled down over the years to basically a penknife, not a lock knife. What constitutes lawful authority or reasonable excuse is a very long discussion. Steve.

CS: Misc-Drugs
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Last year it was estimated that 20% of all hospital admins and upto 45,000 deaths where caused due to legal drugs.(This is drug interactions, people misusing legally prescribed drugs and over the counter drugs). Think about this in context to illegal drugs. I appreciate more prescription drugs are used, but compared to car accidents this is a lot of people. regards David Rovardi Cybershooters website: http://www.cybershooters.org List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ T O P I C A http://www.topica.com/t/17 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
CS: Misc-Drugs
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Drugs E safer than heroin, I don't think so. E was developed as an antipsycotic drug (eg to treat schizophrenics). It is not safe, even the government can't get the warnings right. Drink lots of water while you take it, its the overheating that kills you. Whoops no it isn't is water overload or hyponatraemia that does. Pure heroin is no more addictive or harmful than nicotine. Its the rest of crap in both nicotine (as tobacco) and heroin (just about anything) that causes harm. If anyone would like a discussion about drugs or any questions answers I'd be more than happy too. regards David Rovardi MRPharmS Pharmacist -- E is not addictive like heroin is, that's the problem rather than the harm a single dose can inflict.

CS: Pol-Police review articles
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] It seems the police like to push the point about LETHAL firearms, a car becomes lethal if you run some one over with it. I very much doubt if my guns or for that matter most on the list will ever be used in a lethal manner. regards David Rovardi Cybershooters website: http://www.cybershooters.org List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
CS: Pol-Practical Shootings
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anyone else out there think that the statement of controlling 'gun culture' is going to be an attack on practical shooting ? regards David -- That's a good point actually, I see they "accept in principle" the idea of shooting organisations telling the HO what is okay and isn't. I think UKPSA is too well established to simply be ignored completely though. Steve.

CS: Legal-S1 Shotguns
From: "David Rovardi", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the help and comments so far. I typed yesterdays e-mail in a bit of a hurry. Just to give you some further information, the range in question is an indoor range, not passed for slug (we use SG to minimize damage to lintex). When the MOD inspected the range we were warned to exercise a duty of care since shotgun can damage lintex faster that bullets, it's this point the police have grabbed and yes we feel that we are been blackmailed in order to allow the police to inspect the range. Further more the police have been down to other pieces of land we use and told that these are unsuitable for practical shotgun, but in the same breath said there OK for clay pigeons. They have requested my FAC back in 21 days (the letter arrived 6 days after the date shown on top). We are trying to get a new piece of land checked by a neighbouring police force and surprise they can't inspect for another two week, I feel I am been timed out. We have contacted the UKPSA on the subject and are still waiting to hear from them, so if there is a board member on the list could you please contact me, quickly. Any other comments or advise would be greatly appreciated Thanks Again David Rovardi -- I'm not sure the police opinion about the land is relevant, if your club is UKPSA affiliated and your club decides to hold a match there, you are within the condition on your FAC. If I were you I would just tell them that your club is not the only place you use your shotgun, and if they ask where you do use it, I would copy the condition off your FAC back to them. If you want to be polite you could tell them that you have decided to shoot at Minsterley or wherever until your own club gets sorted with the land. There's no requirement you be a member of a club to have a Section 1 shotgun. You could go down to Minsterley or Harlow, pay the range fee and shoot to your heart's content. They're UKPSA affiliated clubs, it's their land, therefore you are within the condition on your FAC. If your condition is the same as mine, there's no need to even be at a club, any UKPSA-sanctioned match on any piece of land anywhere will do. Steve.
