If you look up the case as it was reported in the Telegraph it mentions possession of FAC rated air rifles without the necessary authority. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/0 ... ould-have/TattooedGun wrote:I seemed to have missed this point?

But then when you have doctors charging 200 quid for a letter and solicitors charging 200 quite for “opinion” and the years of austerity forced on the public sector, this is the result. Sir Robert Marks’ enquiry in the 70s illustrated the risks of having a well trained but poorly paid police service.
Only £200 for a solicitors opinion, that's cheap!
Yeah, I imagine the two counts of misconduct in a public office will see him with six to nine months with six for the FAC air rifles to run concurrent.
Misconduct is the one the courts really don't like to see before them...
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?
