From: "robsox", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Steve, I recently attended a meeting with the chief constable of Lancashire police regarding firearms. In this meeting he told all the club representatives present he wants yearly attendance returns sending in to Lancs Firearms Dept every month.These returns are to be "rolling" returns.ie if someone has not attended for twelve months then they are reported as so.Next month they are reported as not attending for 13 months,next 14 and so on. As far as our members understand we only need to send in a return ONCE a year giving the relevent information. When pushed on this the Chief Constable replied that if the liason officer was not supplying him with the information HE requires,the HO would remove the Approval of the club. Is this request for monthly rolling returns a LEGAL requirement or just something else thrown in to make more paperwork for us and hopefully put us off shooting sports. No one seems to be able to tell me if point 5 in the criteria for approval given out by the HO is a recommendation or LAW.If it IS law the line "....providing the police with such information as they require......" could be a huge burden on our clubs TIA Russ Kaye -- Your obligation is to notify the police if a member has not attended for at least 12 months - nothing more, if I understand what the HO is telling me correctly. Ask Keith Bottomley at the HO Firearms Section. Steve. -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
