She's getting a bit long in the tooth now though, ain't she . . . . . . ?
Qualifications card
- Thread starter Conor O'Gorman
- Start date
No reason they can't be, all your firearms held and vacant slots could be held on a magnetic strip, variations could be done with the swipe of a card a free up understaffed firearms departments, the technology is there, we just need someone to suggest it when they put the list of firearms reforms forward (as always @Conor O'Gorman, I waive my usual consultation fee)

shame its only for basc and DMQ . Good idea but many have some more quals outside of BASC training that are recognized / respected and required . First aid with forestry , Quad etc etc . that are actually required - Could there be a way to extend into these ?A new card is available to all shooters, allowing users to display their shooting qualifications in one place. The Qualifications Card, launched by BASC and DMQ, includes a photo, membership number and a list of your shooting qualifications. The card is designed to assist users in situations such as gaining permissions to shoot and selling wild game to game dealers. The card is open to BASC members and non-members.

Actually whatever people might like to think all that the law requires is "good reason"

You've hit the nail on the head with that comparison. Whereas driving licences have moved on from the original paper based system administered by the local police, our archaic firearms licensing system remains firmly rooted in the 1920s when it was devised!
Unless you are unlucky enough to be overseen by a lawmaker.
Member or non-member why would you
want this?
Joining the tuffty club would have more
benefits.

Perhaps because those that are not a member of BASC will need to give all their details to them, and they can then add them to their database and send out requests for them to join?
Each to their own, but not for me thank you.
Most of which come in an easy to read A4 format, stick them in a folder as I've previously mentioned, take a look at your driving licence and see how hard it is to read which class of vehicle you can drive.
Sorry basc but not a lot of thought has gone into this, your efforts should be focused on defending shooting not producing merit badges

It seems that a lot of people think BASC AND DMQ are different organisations. when they are the same organisation. Same address.

Indeed. Very disappointed this year I didn’t have an updated windscreen ice scraper.
Joking aside, having been a member for 25 years, I really am quite astounded by what seems a blatant ploy to simply to generate income, especially when there are so many more pressing issues.
Personally I think that had this been communicated differently, the feedback would be far more positive - in the shrinking offering, it should be a benefit of membership, with qualification details (if desired) integrated into the members current membership card.

BASC thought you welcomed folks to shooting all you are doing is putting up barriers for more financial gains.

It should have been a new style membership (Read FoC) card that automatically mopped up any and all BASC qualifications (Which you have already paid handsomely for).
One piece of plastic.......woke box, ticked...
I have loads of plastic from BASC and other courses, pointless adding another one and paying £15 for the privelidge!
I'll pass thanks.

Just because you have a driving license doesn’t mean you can drive safely lol.
Just the same, in 30 years of stalking no land owner, agent or representative has ever asked me for anything to do with qualifications, FAC or insurance for that matter. So you can also add Wiltshire , Berkshire, Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire to the list.
I think its mostly hyped up by our own fraternity and those looking to make money from qualifications.
Reputation and contacts are worth so much more.

Yes fully agree as with most training courses . Those with the knowledge were taught hands on not by a course with a certificate and who taught the course organisations in the first place.

Yes, at times you do have to stand up to FLDs that seek to usurp the role of parliament and seek to create their own versions of the firearms act

Not sure of the purpose of this?
Why can’t your qualifications go on your membership card?
