Murray50, your constant use of the 'heap' face, whilst being your BASC supportive 'comment' is wearing a bit thin - it says nothing and, to my mind, makes you look a little silly - your choice, but a bit of a throw-away gesture when you have nothing sensible to say. Yes, I have added you to the ignored pile.

One for all and all for one. If only we could then we would be able to challenge some of the changes proposed. we all need to move forward together and our chosen group's fight together .
How you envisage that happening would be good - interested to hear.
Think things will just rumble along as as they are for a good while longer yet with the odd skirmish here and there along the way with more restrictions put in place as time goes by. Don’t think we need crystal ball , future not bright in general and we must move with the times if possible and enjoy what we can whilst we can, wish basc every success.

So SACS, well...
No legal cover.
Air guns/rifles haven't faired well under their watch.
Grouse shooting licencing scheme?
Another example of lots of little voices against the establishment going nowhere rsther than one united front.
What events will SACS be running in the South-East?

WE do not get many courses run in the south east by any one
Did you click on the link I posted? That was for BASC events in the South-East alone.
Admittedly some of those are training courses, but there was a bunch of other events besides.

Sorry I now stand corrected thanks to willie-gunn . Did not see the courses in the south east before he sent the link.
Many thanks

Some progress has been made on the issues raised earlier in this thread about some forces freezing first time grant applications.
Northamptonshire, North Yorkshire, Kent and Thames Valley police firearms licensing departments have revised their policy on grant applications after pressure from BASC, press coverage and intervention by MPs. More details here:
Improvements made to firearms licensing service - The British Association for Shooting and Conservation
There are still issues with other forces freezing first time grants to be sorted out and there are still so many fundamental issues with firearms licensing in England and Wales to be resolved. On that note I would recommend a listen of Episode 17 of the BASC podcast for a detailed 30 mins insight into work that is being done and some of the obstacles that have arisen - from a police perspective and a BASC perspective.
