during a guns amnesty following the Dunblane School
massacre has been jailed for six months.

force, had been found guilty at an earlier trial at

Level I (1) is not generally used anymore. Proof

Level II is 'proof' against vast majority of low-

I am sure there are many who can correct my logic on
this one and please do. My understanding is that the
Firearms acts in current force do not as such
ban things but proscribe them. Handguns were moved out
of one section and into another which our FACs and the

I've never completely understood why SMGs are used for
law enforcement operations like this or even sillier,
semi-auto carbines. A handgun fires the same ammunition
and is easier to point inside a house. The range involved
is very short and you can mount a light on a h

If I was two yards from the guy and I could read the make and model
I would still treat it as a lethal threat. You have no idea what
the guy could have done to it to increase the power of the gun.

Not really, I believe the similarities between the police and shooters
are very close, 150 years of the organised shooting of handguns as a

Does Bisley have a current Range Safety Certificate, if
so does it cover CF Pistols as our range was recently

If Bisley is the same then how are they going to shoot
