The anyone who has firearms bit is outrageous and needs to be challenged. This sort of stuff puts legal gun owners open to harassment and at the mercy of spiteful people.
Absoloutely.
Will be writing to my MP (not that it will do any good)

Good job that goat f*** wasn't a trigger concern point, or a few very rural areas of Wales, the Scottish w & North Yorkshire would be seeing an influx of suspicion free parked vehicles & flocks of drones...instead of day trips from Bradford, Hexham & Dudley...
They missed off honour killings, child brides, shouting Aloha Snackbar lots & being part of the political cult known as Islam.
Will these typos be addressed in the reprint?
Other weapons?
Chair legs I carrier bags can be fatal, and an unlicensed banana in the pocket, or an "undocumented" water pistol could be valid concerns, perhaps? (They count toward firearms crime statistics)
More seriously, what happened to the Freephone Tigerwatch system to report suspicious activities?
I had a neighbour move in a few doors down two years back.
In that time he's already asked me to stop shooting my air rifle (at paper targets) in my half-acre back garden.
He then suggested (but very weakly) that his cat had been shot only last week and then tailed off to let me form my own conclusions about a visit from the police. In point of fact his cat has never been shot - I see it every day and make a fuss of it - indeed it spends most of its days sitting on my patio table. It was plain lying as a tool to get his own way was not a problem for him.
He's complained my Land Rover lowers the tone - although he's fine with the Porsche - he actually said it like that.
He's accused me of revving my Harley late at night. (never happens) and suggested I push the bike out to the main road to start it.
In point of fact he was confusing me with a chap on an old Jota that visits his girlfriend in the next street. I informed him of this. That made no difference.
One evening, when I was out, he knocked on the door to complain and found my elderly disabled parents were staying. When they told him his accusations were nonsense he actually pushed past them, entered my home, and marched up and down in the hallway swearing like a trooper - he scared the s*** out of them.
When I returned he knocked on the door again, denied everything, then accused my old mum of using foul language. He then went off on one and jammed his foot in the door and refused to leave. At that point we had to call the police. I'd have loved to have dealt with it otherwise but, you know, holding a FAC actually makes us vulnerable to life's skid-marks like this and we're obliged to contain ourselves where others are free to do what comes natural.
The country is filled with dicks like my neighbour - can you imagine how many false claims the police will get with this nasty little Informant's Charter to settle petty grudges?
Fortunately I've always kept my loading and unloading of the car for a shoot very discrete - otherwise I'm sure I could look forward to some harassment.
