A tragic case. nobody is a winner here.
Even the victim must now live with the fact he was forced to take a life. He is blameless, but his life will never be the same again.
However, glad that the UK police/judiciary have seen/shown common sense and not victimised the victim further.
Reflecting on how we build a better society that will prevent these situations, or indeed reflecting on the conservative values we have lost in the name of secularism and diversity, I believe is just as important as being self sufficient and self aware in our own self defence. IE: Dont bang on about a right to bear arms whilst you forget to lock your own windows and doors.
 
Just to add, I think it's also brilliant that nobody seems to have named the victim. This is impressive and I'm thankful for it. It will make his life easier to lead going forward.
 
Very interesting surname the deceased had. Funny thing is I could never have time to get to my cabinet.if being burgled. I just have a short ashplant near my bed. I also have my old Colonel's kukri decorating a bedroom cabinet. I swore an oath to protect my wife to a far greater power than any made by man's laws and should she be in danger from an intruder I would not hesitate to use either to save her.

Really ?

AFO go back in service if they discharge their weapons

The person in this case has done nothing wrong whatsoever

Justify revocation from there ,,,,

I completely agree with you the logical and right thing to do would be to allow this farmer to have his FAC/SGC back, i just feel with the way firearms licensing currently is in this country it just wont happen. This is just my opinion and i am by no means whatsoever an expert.

A good example of that Steve is a gun/rifle in a vehicle should be "out of sight" of the public where the public have access.
"zip it up in the slip" when in Costa Coffee meeting the guide lol

Yes. That has always been the law for many years. So carrying a weapon in a public place includes having it in your car. The logic is that there's no difference from you lurking next to the recycle bins in a public car park with a cosh or knife looking for someone to accost and rob to your waiting sat inside your car next to the same recycle bins in the same public car park with the same cosh or knife looking for someone to accost and rob.

Hi FB
My wife was informed at the kerbside that her paper driving license was not valid. No idea about your case, but Police do on occasion get it wrong.
