+1 Using small diameter like 2mm TSS shot the .410 is a killing machine past 30yards.

not always the case, i have done that only to told they have someone and will call them. Most who have got ground to shoot over are very possessive of it even when they have thousands of acres and cannot possibly cover all of it by being in two places at the same time.

scales? 70mm should weigh more than the 65mm.

not the same gun but have seen a 410 Remington 1100 damage cases like that and that was due to a faulty o ring in the gas port resulting in a timing issue in that the case was being ejected whilst the breech pressure was still high. Don’t know the 400 xplor but i would be checking the gas port out.

Not done so for several years now, but used to just show SGC to buy cartridges, for section 1 ammunition again just used to show it, then get U.K. customs to write it on to the FAC. The prices became such that in the end it was not beneficial to bother buying in France, given the checks required to transport across the channel. re transport this is the shuttle policy, one slab of cartridges was seen as acceptable and 100 rounds of ammunition. https://www.leshuttle.com/uk-en/legal-information/carriage-of-dangerous-and-hazardous-goods for the Ferry, they never took much notice of 1000 cartridges, but the ferry operators and the port authorities can have different regulations regarding hazardous goods, so you need to look at both.

Not even a pensioner yet, getting close but wonder by then what pension i will actually get if any despite having paid the full 35 years of national insurance. Given now apparently a pension is a benefit. I now begin to seriously regret the decision of staying in the u.k. when several years back i could have worked, retired and be living in europe.

Pete, just because you have no guns, all the time you have your certificate you could go and buy another gun and ammunition. They see Divorce as a domestic risk and hence to remove that risk want your certificate back. Even if you put your certificate and or guns into an RFD they will see that as potential risk still as you could go and take possession of your certificate at any time. Sadly just the way they go about managing risk. You may well get a visit by the Police, if you voluntarily surrender your certificate you have no legal way to appeal and they will only return (or allow an application to renew it) when they consider it safe to do so, which may be many months or even years. They could revoke your certificate. Kent Police have a reputation for being very risk adverse. good luck.

This +1 Yes the 7 years is inheritance tax only, no time limit on avoiding care costs.

interesting view, but look at the cost of housing today, my first house was £36,000 now what’s a first house £200,000 plus? what hope have are children of ever owning their own home, if they cannot benefit from working all my life to pay for my house to give them money to be able to buy their own house? We will end up as a country of renters with less and less home ownership. Plus I bet the very rich find ways of avoiding their homes or assets going to care costs as they do their tax liabilities, via trusts or foreign banks or property or such like.

how long was he in care if only a few weeks or he used his savings to cover the care costs before he died then that may be why the house was not needed for care costs. or given it was eight years ago the council may not have been as aggressive as they are now at getting the money back. Really beginning to think it is time to sell and down size and enjoy the money released before to old to enjoy it.

google it they can take all the value of the house except i think it is £23,250 provided no partner or dependant is still living in it. https://www.independentage.org/get-advice/health-and-care/paying-for-care/do-i-have-to-sell-my-home-to-pay-for-residential-care

your not wrong, swapped the helicopter for a private jet. https://order-order.com/2024/07/15/starmer-flew-to-england-final-on-private-jet-that-labour-repeatedly-criticised/

hate to tell you but they already take all your savings and the majority of your house for care costs. First you have to stop the asylum seekers arriving let’s see that play out.

it’s easy money for them.

The club referred to is a Home Office approved rifle, pistol type of club using section 1 FAC firearms. Clay clubs will still have to comply with section 21 but not the restrictions placed on Home Office section 1 clubs regarding guests to attend. Most clay clubs, grounds will operate with a section 11(6) exemption, which is issued by the Chief Constable annually so if found wanting regarding compliance with section 21 they could lose their section 11(6) exemption and then only SGC holders could shoot at the club, ground.
