Partners to be quizzed in new gun licence screening

Domestic abuse survivor Rhiannon Bragg helped police design the questionnaire

Published7 hours ago
The partners of all gun licence applicants are being asked questions for the first time as five police forces in England and Wales seek to strengthen licensing processes.
The forces - Gwent, the Metropolitan Police, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire - are testing a questionnaire designed to build a more detailed picture of anyone who wants to own a gun, with a particular focus on domestic abuse.
The initiative, called Project Titanium, has been developed by Gwent Police with the help of domestic abuse survivors.
It has already resulted in some applications being refused or existing licences being revoked.
Insp Jodie Davies, from the force's firearms licensing team, said: “We are absolutely not saying applicants will be domestic abuse perpetrators, but any opportunity to gather information is welcome.
"We've had one case where the partner was contacted and stated that she couldn't speak to the firearms officer at her home because she was being controlled and coerced.
"The officer met with her in a different location, she disclosed a number of serious concerns, that licence was then refused and we were able to put safeguarding in place for that person."

Police say public safety is the priority when it comes to reviewing applications
Gun licences are currently reviewed every five years, but campaigner Emma Ambler is among those who want to see stricter controls such as annual reviews.
Her sister Kelly Fitzgibbons and her two daughters were shot dead in Sussex in 2020 by partner Robert Needham, a licensed gun holder who then killed himself.
The Project Titanium questionnaire is not a legal requirement but applicants who refuse to engage or share their partner’s details can face an automatic refusal.
More than 5,000 applications have been subject to the additional questions since the trial began last year.
Insp Davies said: "We’ve had seven cases during this trial where we've either refused or revoked a licence; that is seven cases that potentially could have gone on to domestic abuse homicide."
Public safety
Gwent Police said its firearms licensing officers were trained to risk assess scenarios which may raise red flags about an applicant.
It said partners were interviewed alone, either in person or in vision remotely, to make sure their answers were as truthful as possible.
Even when there was a risk someone may not be able to be honest due to their domestic circumstances, the force said it opened an avenue of communication with police they may feel able to use in the future.
Rhianon Bragg, 51, was held overnight in August 2019 by her former partner, who began stalking her when she ended the five-year relationship. She has helped police design the questionnaire.
She said: "If Titanium was in existence at the time and I’d been asked the questions, even though I didn’t realise I was in an abusive relationship, the way the questions have been formulated may have started a thought process with me, thinking hang on I'm experiencing this - but it would absolutely have rung alarm bells for any officer that I was speaking to.
"Despite everything I've experienced I'm not anti-shooting. This is absolutely about having people who are responsible gun owners, responsible with their weapons and how they use them, who realise it is a privilege."

Thanks anyway. I used to make my own .38 Special bullets + .357 Magnum. I've got quite a few of these bullets left which I offered for free, but no takers, so I thought I would advertise them just as lead.
👍

When I first seen this Steve I thought you wanted leads made I got all the moulds I would have helped you

Most of use certainly are - but what happens when we find steel is bad ?
I shoot at rats at night as do many others with shotguns - what of the risk of ricochets ?
Im not against steel but becoming more unsure as time moves on
Wont steel rust or is that not as bad as lead when picked up by birds especially when shot over flight ponds

Had this happen and got it stainless welded and it still broke

I shoot a Hornet 17 and that will kill foxes out to 150 easy as I have shot loads look in my posts in other quarry
-
At a guess the 17 is just glansing the neck area where as if you hit the scull it will dissintergrate the neck of the goose looks big but a lot of it is feather
where as the 223 has got a bigger diamiter of lead to strike the neck

How am I supposed to know you’re a gamekeeper?
You’re avoiding the question, but I’ll keep trying.
Right, so is the practice of dumping birds at the end of a day’s shooting how YOU deal with the bag? Also ( for about the third/fourth time of asking ) do you know for a fact that those statements you made in your OP, happening on every shoot throughout the land, as you claim in that post?No I did not claim it happens on every shoot as I said we will have to agree to disagree end of also I have put up a lot of posts on shoot day
