Revoking for what reason
Previous criminal record that was regarded as ok at the time ie Complaints of violence during a break up, previous mental health issues that you have told them about.
You need to consult a correctly legally qualified person to get a proper answer and of course did that actually occur . I seriously don't think the cops will shout it from the rooftops.
have buggered up just about every public service, from NHS, Passports, Border controls, Land Registry etc. etc. etc. and firearms licensing is no exception. Could anyone reliably name a public service that they have not seriously damaged? Certainly not I!!
Not to put too fine a point on it, the Tories
That's it in a nutshell, ladies and gents.
Would you care to give a sensible and logical alternative source of Govt which would tick the boxes? I would love to hear of one that would fulfil your desires and make you happy. At this present time such political fantasies are quite a rare option, similar to Unicorns I believe.The source of this whole debacle is clear and the eventual outcome entirely predictable. The purpose of firearms and explosives licensing is 'Protection of Public Safety', that's why it exists.
The source is persistent and sustained Conservative government cuts to public service funding. This has resulted in year on year reductions in staffing, trained and experience staff leaving, excessive workloads, shortcuts being taken and incidents not dealt with properly or ignored.
People who never should have been granted certificates were granted. Certificate holders who misbehaved were not revoked, with the inevitable tragic loss of life.
The most well known tragedy has (at long last) sparked off nothing less than a blind panic and a huge disaster recovery/backside-covering operation, resulting in multiple revocations and deplorable service to law abiding certificate holders, who come nowhere in the list of priorities.

Very true. I have met one or two over the past few years that I refuse to take out or deal with, after seeing how they handle themselves and approach firearm ownership. One cannot blame the police for being cautious at times, its a fine line to tread at times.
Its going to be pretty hard to prove someone with 5 years term minimum is unsuitable ( without clear new medical evidence or a crime ) . Actually we got a visit and my daughter needed speaking to because the Devon incident involved autism but not a problem ! The Feo is very good and balanced and we simply explained that Autism comes in many forms and hers is very high intellect and an inability to actually break rules if required - All good !
You are spot on. What a sad state politics are in. There just isn't anyone.Would you care to give a sensible and logical alternative source of Govt which would tick the boxes?

Personally i am disappointed Ben Wallace didn't step forward . Some of the work he has done has simply not reached the public ( obvious reasons )
A friend of mine had 47 off his guns lodged in a Rfd since last July waiting for his ticket back
Were they late putting the paperwork in?
