Has anyone heard about this theft in London of a Beretta EELL. Seems as though someone was unloading their car and a passer by picked it up and disappeared. Wf1
Prolly kiss his ass goodbye!Madness, the first thing you do Is lock your firearm away . And then deal with the rest, what was He or she thinking about.
He can kiss his certificate good bye I'm sure.
Making it even more of a threat.And the gun was "Tatty" due to the wooden parts not being oiled.
That's a fairly expensive gun to try and get rid of if that's what the thief is going to do.
Why do you all assume that he will get his license revoked ?
Similar happened to an elderly Lady I know. She was off shooting,loading the car and put gun in slip on roof. Went to get her dogs,put them in the car and drove off. The gun fell off as she got on to a public road and fortunately was handed in to Police, not in the condition a Best English 20 bore should really be in.
They tried to revoke her cert but after talking to her solicitor, who listened to me and then put forward the case of a similar thing happening with a Police firearm she was allowed to keep it. The gun cost a fortune to put right but at least she still has it and can continue with her sport.

Don't supose she lives in SW scot?
Know a very similar story think she used to drive a skoda estate, not seen her for a few years now thou.
While the story does sound bad, u have no idea how accurate the reporting is.
I could see instances where it could happen, loaded up motor with guns then nip up to kennel to get dogs etc.
Lot of it is luck, i'm sure many of us have laid guns down at clay grounds etc and not paying them full attention, would anyone notice if someone walked past and helped themselves to a slipped gun of rack
