delswal 3,819 Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 WARNING I guess this site would be no different if the police ever popped in here at times...........Careful what and where you write gents. In one recent case, someone very successful in the shooting world was abused on Facebook by another shooter envious of their achievements. “The attack got more heated and the language increasingly threatening. In due course the Police became involved and the perpetrator is having his ticket revoked and I doubt he will ever get it back. “People are careless about social media. You never know who is reading it or how long it will remain online. I know of another case where someone added friends on Facebook, but did not realise that some had criminal connections. When the time came to renew his certificates, the Police decided that he had demonstrable connections with members of the criminal fraternity and his ticket was revoked.” Read more at http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/shot-gun-certificate/7-deadly-sins-how-to-lose-your-shotgun-certificate- 2 Quote Link to post
