1st May introduced a change to the regs requiring a miniature rifle range owner (MRR) to possess an FAC
Not a bad idea
In short order that morphed into a requirement to have the range added to an operator’s FAC as an additional condition
No sooner that was announced, D&C firearms unit upped it to requiring an application under the section pertaining to Club registration
Not happy with that, they now require range design specs, method statements, proof of insurance and proof of planning permission
Not only do most of these people not know anything about shooting; they almost certainly know nothing of range design
Further, they have now drifted into civil law !
Not bad for a group of people who struggle to meet their primary responsibilities on time
PS
There is no such thing as a HO approved range
Apparently for the good folk of D&C there now is
