Steve,
Firearms for self defence in the home are lawful as the following
extract from the debates on the Prevention of Crime Act 1953 confirms. The
Bill only applied to the carriage of weapons in public places. Lord Lloyd
(a sponsor of the Bill) reminded the House of Lords that;
"It should be noted a person who remains on his own property may with
impunity go around positively festooned with weapons. If he has a firearm he
would need the appropriate certificate. His house may be a veritable
arsenal. He will be committing no offence under this Bill".
Hansard, 14 April 1953.
The security conditions on FAC's also take this into account.
Regards, John Hurst.
