<< the Home Office have promised
a crackdown on RFDs shortly (in fact they have
already required inspections in the local force area
of everyone) so what you can and cannot do will be
clarified soon, I expect!

Interesting. In what respectes do they propose to tighten things up? Was
this part of the HAC recommendations, or something the Home Office has
thought up itself? Is it aimed primarily at Sect. 5 dealers, or dealers in
general? What justification do they give for any perceived need to tighten
up?

This was part of the HO evidence to the HAC. Apparently
they are convinced most of the guns criminals use come
from bent dealers, which is a laugh a minute as handguns
are banned and most criminals use handguns!
I think the law regarding dealers could be modernised, as
it hasn't changed much since 1937 but "modernised" and
"crackdown" are two different things.
The biggest laugh for me is that the Government feel that
the best way to stop people from making bogus RFDs is to
not publish the form of the certificate (have a look in
the Firearms Rules), and to tell dealers not to let anyone
have a copy of their RFD except the police and other RFDs.
