BASC Fighting Fund helps member win appeal against Kent Police

[Conor O'Gorman]

A BASC member has won an appeal against the revocation of his firearm and shotgun certificates by Kent Police thanks to support from BASC’s Fighting Fund.

The judgment marks a further success for BASC's Fighting Fund, which in March 2024 helped a BASC member win an appeal against the revocation of his certificate by Cheshire Constabulary.

@Conor O'Gorman Just out of curiosity, how many BASC members have asked for support regarding an appeal against the revocation of their firearm and shotgun certificates against the number of cases challenged by BASC? Also number of cases challenged/success rate

It is not a numbers game.
The person who has (for example) been revoked for threatening their partner with a shotgun cannot expect to receive Fighting Fund support as revocation is entirely appropriate.
The question is more how many FF supported cases are won vs lost, and what does it cost (bearing in mind the FF comes from member subscriptions.)
