I have had a shot gun for five years, used for clay shooting, but the law has
(reviewed) my case and refused a renewal, on the strenght of things i did in
the past, so now i have to hand in my beloved s57, i would have thought that 25yrs of good behaviour would have been good enough to show a reformed character.:cry:

Hopefully you can appeal. In the meantime, do you have a trusted friend to whom you could entrust it for safe keeping?

I would think 25 years of good behavior is sufficient to show a reformed character.

Now this is really ironic. Bush committed some indiscretions in his younger years and he was elected president of the USA. :rolleyes:

I'd vote for you *if and only if* you bought me a GSXR 750.

This is why gun control is stupid. What business do they have taking your gun away when you have done nothing wrong!? STUPID, JUST STUPID! Well, there goes one more of your rights! :rolleyes:

You shot the constables pet pigeon by mistake, didn't you?

All joking aside, I find it hard to believe that something which happened 25-years ago would have such an outcome. Redress the court, bring your friends and neighbors!

Geez, whatever happened to "Merry Old England"? :rofl: I always thought there was something rotten in Denmark - but England?

If they let Prince Philip carry a gun . . . :rolleyes:

Can you talk to a magistrate or someone?

The fact that you've had the gun this long without further incident . . . er, you have been a good boy right? :uhh: :smile:

Leave them alone, let them sort out their differences we do not know the
problems they face.

Pay as you go no credit, if you can not afford it do not buy it.

if your government thinks they are under attack ,they must be allowed to sort the problems out, if it is not to your licking elect some one who is.

"Accident?" Battery is battery. Were you informed at the time you applied for the license that it could be revoked if the moon phase changed? I'll do the "provincial" thing and point out that you primitives in the old country are "backward," licensing convicted felons to carry firearms, and then, this is the "backward" part, reviewing such licenses and revoking them on the basis of the original conviction.

You did pick up the license on the basis of a "full disclosure" of your past?
