wannabe_keeper Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Found it promising to recieve the reply (below) from my local MP and thought i would share: Dear Mr Batchelor Thank you for your email of Friday's date regarding the future of shooting. I think my own husband would have an awful lot to say about it if the Government did anything which curtailed his shooting! However, on a serious point, I am concerned about the current enquiry being conducted by the Home Affairs Select Committee into shooting, which follows on from the dreadful events in Cumbria. Whilst any report must remain (at this stage) confidential, I have spoken to colleagues on the Committee about the need to ensure shooting sports are not endangered by an over-reaction to one lone incident. I often comment that if anyone had any idea how many 14 year old girls were killed by horse riding the Pony Club would have long ago been a banned organisation! There is a measure of risk in all that we do, and the important thing is to get the balance right. If you think a meeting would be useful I am more than happy to come and see you, and will ask my secretary to make contact. Best wishes Caroline Edited December 13, 2010 by wannabe_keeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think there could be some good PR to be had for shooters and the BASC etc (however a quick google does show she has less than perfect PR record........) Sort of Nigella ish Perhaps invite her and her family to go shooting? Day on the clays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I'd be wasting much time on dinner, and I'm sure she could put the room on expenses. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1286264/Cameron-Cutie-MP-Caroline-Nokess-4-year-affair-toyboy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterzone2 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Bloody hell a response that not only says the aim is not to destroy shooting sports but at the same time look to attempt to control the few who slip the firearms units net. If they all where like that this country might not be in the **** its in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
