Damn. I used to be able to edit posts with "An application". "I know" not unknown.

Umm, so you live over one of the ponds right?

On the serial numbers note, unknown plenty of people with 6 .22's etc.

As previous posters, our club maintains a central register of serial numbers (for those that are kept in the armoury) or unique reference for others, and assigns a number to each. I fill in a card when I shoot that says "Rifle 1 - match" or "2 - Practice". It's not too onerous and I don't have any issue with the club having the serials.

Can you discuss this on Handgun forum.

My guess is the national bodies think it's so minor they haven't challenged it.

I suspect it would be supporting the HO stance rather than common sense and gun owners. I would like to be proven otherwise.

Speculation I know but if that is the case then that is just not good enough!

Belts and braces approach to proving "good reason". The guidance now says that a firearm held for target shooting as a member of a HO approved club, should see that firearm used at least three times per year.

If that firearm is held with other good reason, such as part of a collection or vermin/game, then there is no such requirement. After the slating that firearms departments have taken over recent years for their failings, it's not difficult to see how this has come about nor, that the associations do not see it as too erroneous.

Unfortunately for many of us, it is just regarded as another level of control and a chip-chipping away at our gun ownership as a whole.

It's not about guns, it's not bully-boy tactics, it's just that no one effing well trusts anyone anymore! That is what we should lament....
