It would certainly help if those who administer firearms licensing actually knew something about firearms.
Every FEO should be an active or retired shooter with many years experience rather than a serving police officer who has been promoted or moved sideways from within.

My current farcical experience really highlights this. My licence errors when it finally came back show a complete lack of attention to detail. I have heard i May not see a correct version for a while yet as well! Not impressed and I can see why people just pack in shooting completely, which is probably what they are aiming for!

Read the article, not just the headline.
The coroner is not recommending tighter legislation. He's recommending that the police be properly trained to implement the rules that we already have, and that those rules are properly applied. Nothing wrong with that.

Agreed but unfortunately that is not how the BBC reported it (certainly on the radio which is where I first heard it) - media again!

Unfortunately? Fortunately, more like.
Had the headline read "No significant changes to firearms legislation", then the public would be asking questions, and demanding more be done. As it is, the headline keeps the public happy, and the rest of the article keeps us happy. Win-win.

I should imagine the link above contains an accurate summary.
The actual Regulation 28 reports are here https://tgchambers.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/KEYHAM-INQUESTS-Combined-PFD-reports-1.pdf

The title of this thread is perhaps intemperate given the horrors that the Coroner has been considering. Certainly it isn't how I'd have put it - but among the Regulation 28 reports which lawful shooting folk will welcome, there are some which cause concern: by which I mean our usual concern that the the basis of our firearms laws have not been correctly interpreted, and that we are at risk of being burdened with more expense and restriction in a way that would not have prevented this tragedy, nor would prevent similar events in the future.
