      Could you narrow it down a bit, that's 3/4 of CUK you've just described.
      Hard Brexit now!

        Not to worry Dim, as you see, obviously he is still around.

          So maybe we should only licence the loonies?

          Seriously, these incidents happen so infrequently that I don't believe any changes are needed to the licencing system.

            I haven't read anywhere that he actually held a FAC.

              It was reported on the lunchtime news that he did, and had done for a number of years.

                Oh, I only heard on the wireless this morning that he'd been left the guns by his father.

                Thanks for the update.

                  BBC News - Gun control and ownership laws in the UK

                  Even if you inherit, you may not receive the firearms unless you have a license. The firearms must go to a dealer and you can only have them if you successfully apply for a license yourself. With an FAC (firearms) that means good reason, i.e. a club member for over 6 months or land to shoot over.
