I was wondering if anyone could help me with this, I remember reading some years ago in a gun magazine about an incident in 1954 which led to all the remaining FACs for personal protection being revoked by the Met. As I recall it, a shopkeeper blasted someone with a shotgun who came into his shop and threatened him. The court held that the shopkeeper had used excessive force and he was sent to prison. As a result, the Met decided to revoke all the FACs for personal protection due to the extremely small number of armed robbers (four recorded robberies in London in 1954) at the time and the exceptionally low odds of running into one. Anyone got any more info on this? Steve. -------[Cybershooters contacts]-------- Editor: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website & subscription info: www.cybershooters.org
