Sharpshooter.123 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 NO NO NO NOT SNAP CAPS just to clarify I don't think a test would help! Personally I only trust TWO people with a gun and even then you cannot guarantee it will be safe, what would a test prove?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to forgive the people who come out with stupid comments and not answer your question . Yes it would be a great idear. but most of the people on here are worried they'ed fail and would have to hand in their guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter.123 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 It's amazing how many people have picked up bad habits in the field and I won't shoot with the ones im talking about!!! Maybe a test wouldn't be such a bad idea the ones who fail will have to give up and that could make firearms licensing a bit faster with half the workload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulu Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Few years ago I offered to go out with my eldest sons mates ( all Subaru Impreza drivers ) and put them through a mock driving test to see how their skills were ( no charge ) and maybe offer some training , none took me up on the free offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGD Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Bit sorry I asked to be honest :no: Don't worry about it mate, once you've been here a while you'll see the same things going round and round, no malice intended in any of the responses I'm sure. But for Christ sake don't follow this up with a thread asking what kind of wellies to buy Edited March 14, 2012 by WGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Bit sorry I asked to be honest :no: Don't worry, you asked a sensible question, I thought it sensible to quickly point out it's been asked before to avoid going through it all again (I've run out of popcorn...). Ignore all those taking the p - err yellow stuff, it's just a bit of light hearted fun and not to be taken seriously - as with many things on here!

Dave-G Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Ok, that enough of the fun and games lads: The test is that FAC applicants have to be able to recite the lords prayer backwards, swapping a noisy slurp of a strawberry milkshake through a striped flexy straw in lieu of every forth word. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
