Because, as we all know, vetted rifle club members and FAC holders are such a huge terrorism and domestic extremism threat...

Anyone know what the outcome of this was for the Op???.

I don't think it's such a bad thing really - you never know who might try to join a club to obtain firearms for acts of 'religious extremism'. Not sure from what religion but you can never be too careful. :run:

A great many club committees are BBC/Sky drivel-fed dinosaurs who wouldn't know what domestic terrorism was if it bit them in the face. Better they be educated than something terrible happen.

There's a thread on that - www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=17142

As for JackmanUK, I can't help but presume his indiscreet situation didn't end well, otherwise, I'm sure he would have been on here telling everyone all about it.

Any chance of an update?
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?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

A little bit of discretion at last. Probably (a lack of) what kicked this all off in the first place.

if you dont like what i post maybe tell me in a PM or report it to an admin and let them sort . winging on an forum wont solve anything and neither will hijacking the post the post is about the police carrying out an inspection without my knowledge and no prior warning NOT how i handle my life
Nobody is perfect - we all cock up to some extent at some point.

The secret is, when all around you try to gently tell you that you have been a bit silly, to admit it, learn from it and move on.

Discretion is the best policy. Which is why I never have and never will use twitter or facebook or any other social media. I use a few firearms forums, one of which is not public viewable.

I am only 7 pages into this epic thread but it looks like nothing untoward has happened as a result of the "publicity". That's a good thing.

As to "hiding" as if ashamed of our lawful sport - nobody is asking you to do that.


As an aside - here is a scenario which has actually happened. Between neighbours, between family members, between partners / husbands + wives.........................

Both parties are good friends. Shooter is very open about his hobby. Now other party knows all about his guns. Shooter has even let other party have a look or even handle guns. All friendly.

A few years later, big neighbour dispute. Or messy family feud. Or messy divorce. Suddenly the other party has lots of info to use against the shooter. "Oh yes officer, he was very blasé - leaves them laying around the house". "Yes officer, I even know where he has his safe - he made no secret of it". In this modern "look at me, look at me" world of social media, its even more of a minefield.

Remember, the "friend" you share info with, banter with, let photograph himself with your gun, may not ALWAYS be your friend !! And on the interweb, who knows who is taking notes ?
