Erm....this is a piece of journos imagination filling a paper....why not wait to see something from the Home Office?
Article in Daily Mail today
- Thread starter BEAR1
- Start date
I just do not get this - Ive never had an FEO seek to blame gun owners. Some might be slow and not really know much about shooting, stalking or firearms in general but they are reasonable people who are simply trying to ascertain if youre a nutter/idiot/ intemperate/hold views incompatible with firearms ownership. Provide them with good reason and be in good standing and there isnt an issue. If you have mental health issues, go to your doctor early, if you post racist or other inciting posts on social media, expect to be turned down. Whats hard about that ?

Time for all shooting organisations to stand together and fight this as one . Should this apply to all police staff as they have caused these problems murder. And who in hell gave him is licence back the officer is probably now retired on a full pension. From page 15 is new as just had a variation completed with the Met Police and did not complete the last pages.

Will have a look at BASC have to say
I received an email in my Inbox from BASC at 15:57.
It points you to their response on their website:
Medical issue left unanswered in Home Office firearms licensing statutory guidance
New government statutory guidance for firearms licensing published today has failed to solve the issue of GP involvement, says BASC.
basc.org.uk
Nothing from any other organisation mind.......
Was not suggesting the FEO see gun owners as the problem, we keep them in a job, but the government obviously conveniently suggest we are the problem, otherwise publicly they have to acknowledge that the system failed a system they are in charge of.
However it looks still be guidance not primary legislation so chief constable may well continue to as they please.I received an email in my Inbox from BASC at 15:57.

They probably want to assess whether or not the applicant could afford a crown court appeal, which would mean very senior officers having to appear and be cross-examined by a barrister who will know more about firearms law than he/she does.

You can also find it on their website by clicking on "News" and then "Latest News".
The press releases on both the Guidance and the BASC response are at the top:
They may make it mandatory, in which case refusing to fill in the details would prejudice your application, as doubtless there will be a "I verify that the above infomation is correct" type of box to check.
So far as the US, filling out the details of your social media accounts is optional on the ESTA form. I've always completed it, as I live in hope that someone in the US Government might want to buy some of my Flickr photos
