<I have stuck my neck out for shooters over long barreled pistols,
moderators and other things that cause grief. >
IG, I have a lot of sympathy for many of the views expressed in your post,
but this one line made me do a double-take. What 'grief' could possibly be
caused by these legal section 1 items? The implication from your statement
is that some people in the Police just don't like 'civilians' owning these
items, despite the explicit wording of the Firearms Acts.
I am lucky in that my own licensing department is superb - they genuinely
seem to believe in the 'service to shooters' line put out by the Home
Office. However many aren't so lucky, and we regularly hear horror stories
on Cybershooters of inappropriate behaviour by some police officers.
IG, you are clearly one of the enlightened; but as long as such views are
held by some of your colleagues, are you really surprised that many
Cybershooters get upset at the Police in general?
