I don't believe that. This is China we're talking about.Sim G wrote: Yesterday they reported no new domestic cases.
And on the subject, they started this with their medieval trade in animal parts, so they should compensate the rest of the world for the ensuing chaos.

Ah well, I can't compete with that logic...
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Range closers because of Covid-19
Is the NRA going to discuss taking into account 'good reason / reasonable use' requirements that may be lowered due to the pandemic preventing shooting when the year is done?IainWR wrote:National Shooting Centre Bisley closed to all except police / military.
I think the current general rule of thumb a lot of forces take into account is that each firearm possessed ought to be used at least three times in a year to qualify for 'good reason'.

Para 13.53 of the Guidance already covers this, I'd say;
"13.53 Target shooters may be expected to use their firearms fairly regularly, say three or more times a year. The police should consider on renewal whether “good reason” continues in respect of all firearms held for this purpose. However, failure to shoot in a year should be regarded as grounds for further enquiries to be made, rather than the automatic partial revocation of the certificate for lack of “good reason”. For example, there may be personal circumstances such as illness, working away (where this is not to be repeated regularly), or practice for a particular competition that may preclude the use of all the firearms concerned. In some cases, competitions for unusual or older arms may be few each year. Owners, and especially collectors, may also not want to regularly shoot old, historic, and valuable firearms, thus avoiding excessive wear and tear."
