Firearms Licensing Survey
Well, the collection of elected knitting circle, that is those referred as Policing and a Crime Commissioner's, have issued a survey on firearms licensing. It's quick and easy and appears to be more about passing costs on and having strapped GP's carry the responsibility of when someone goes nuts... (obviously, giving guns back to crazies is beyond the scope of this opinion poll!)
So, get any shooter who has access to online to fill this in, or expect to pay thousands of pounds for a renewal and never seeing the doctor again for a prostate examination...

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: Firearms Licensing Survey
This has been published on a few other shooting forums & pages but needs to be widely spread & to get the largest possible response from shooters vs those that oppose us. Please copy this survey to your clubs, mates, family, shooters, forums etc as widely as possible. The huge shooting response to the LR/Mars survey did have real effect. I do believe if you have different IP address (phone pad etc) you can complet eit multiple times!

Re: Firearms Licensing Survey
Done.
Pity it doesn't ask how we think the current legislation could be applied more efficiently and in the same way by all police forces without a few of them just making stuff up as they go.

Re: Firearms Licensing Survey
Also nice to see how they've biased the poll by refering to sporting firearms as "weapons" Only soldiers, the police and criminals use them as weapons.
That should help the general public give the answers they want to hear :(

Re: Firearms Licensing Survey
Unfortunately Jeff, the term “weapon” is what is used in a number of guidance, instructions and legislation. It is normal in police circles. But then so is acronyms and codes, and they would never be used in “public infirmation.

Re: Firearms Licensing Survey
Perhaps we should be asking the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners how many public surveys they have conducted in the past and what was the nature of the survey .
Their email address is enquiries@apccs.police.uk
Marc Jones is the current Police and Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire and of course he is the Chair of the APCC .

Re: Firearms Licensing Survey
I filled out the form, but I'm always wary that volunteering my firearms ownership merely flags me up as one that can be binned for being biased.
A further comment section would have been nice but, obviously would risk the survey not giving the 'right' results.
