From: Jeremy Peter Howells, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Surely the converse is true - a section 1 shotgun is a rifle by another name? Regards Jerry -- What section it is, is irrelevant - the Act says that clubs can only be approved for rifles and muzzle-loading pistols. This is why all the clubs who had long-barrelled revolvers received nasty letters when the Home Office decided that club FACs could not cover them because a club cannot be approved for that purpose. Ditto for Section 1 shotguns, or any shotgun for that matter. However, it cuts both ways - you have to be a member of an approved club if you have a rifle or muzzle-loading pistol only for target shooting, but that requirement doesn't apply for shotguns or long-barrelled revolvers. Daft, but there you go. One of the many anomalies in the 1997 Acts. Steve. -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
