Steel100 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Mods. Apologies if this is in the wrong section. The HO have just rolled out some updates to 2002 Guidance which can be viewed and downloaded: http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/publications/police/firearms/police-firearms-guidance/ Nothing particularly relevant at this stage, some tidying up re the VCR Bill and Museum Licences. Other, more relevant stuff to follow in the New Year. Festive greetings to all! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) 2 pages of intro 7 pages of possession etc and museums, not really relevant to most of us is that it? Original was 60+ pages - is this just a "replace these sections" rest unchanged? or is there more I've missed?

CharlieT Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Perhaps the 2nd paragraph of the introduction sheds a little light on your question "The guidance is being revised in batches, and chapters on specific topics will be published online once they are available. The first revised chapters provide guidance on restrictions on the possession, handling, and distribution of firearms and ammunition, and on the issue of museum firearms licences. Until new chapters have been published on other subject areas, reference should continue to be made to the 2002 version of the guidance, together with any subsequent advice issued by the Home Office. Future changes to firearms legislation or policy will be reflected through updating of the relevant chapter online, to ensure that the document remains up to date and readily accessible" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thanks for the insight - saw the page count and through it a bit short - pages still over on the printer awaiting review - but that para does answer the Question Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Apparently, the idea is that if they just publish via the website, they can make amendments more easily than if they have a hard copy version. Yep, as stated. Other parts will come out on a chapter by chapter basis. Please bear in mind, this is Guidance and not the law! Merry Xmas Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People read the word 'guidance' in the title and assume that it's all just advice and best practice. A lot of it is actual statements of law though. J.
