Last year I flew home from Heathrow with one hundred new, empty, unprimed
.404 Jeffery cases in my luggage. They were taken off me by the security
people who obviously didn't seem to understand what they were. Police and
Customs were called neither of whom gave me much confidence that they had
the foggiest idea of what constitutes ammunition and after about twenty
minutes of hanging about while the police made a couple of phone calls the
brass was packaged up in a carton marked to be hand carried by flight crew
to destination. Having two stops to make on the way home I was afraid that
was the last I'd see of my hard to come by cases but they arrived in
Auckland safely and on the same plane as me and they were duly handed over
without the slightest fuss.
The firearms legislation and everything to do with guns in Britain seems to
breed a "culture of ignorance and suspicion."
Regards,
David.
