Deker 3,478 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Ok Cheers, I see where you are coming from! Seems reasonable, the only possibly slight counter argument (I'm not suggesting it is a good one) is, First grant, No experience...here's a .308 because the land is cleared for it! :hmm: my thoughts would be. you either deemed responsible enough to hold an fac or not as saying theres a difference would imply that different levels of responsibility are required for each calibre, would that mean a lad with a rimmy is deemed to be less responsible than a bloke with a 308 :yes: As I said, but we live in the real world, and not all regions share our view! We hear tales of calibre restriction/mentoring all the time due to perceived lack of experience! Quote Link to post

SportingShooter 0 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I know what you're saying Dek, it's just as Paulus said, in an sensible world, the guidelines would be statutory for every force in E&W. Deerhound, go out and buy one of these - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.22_Eargesplitten_Loudenboomer Give the licensing manager a heart attack. It is after all, just a .22 Rifle. Quote Link to post
