Penelope Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Disgraceful. Could be my 'filler' any day. I'd have questioned her all night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Perhaps if she had mentioned that her "Perazzi" was in fact a Browning, they would have released her earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 lets see the police get out of this one. They dont do themselves any favours. It should have been between the hotel and the guest as its a policy issue, not a criminal one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED BEARD Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 News articles are much different when you know the people behind the stories. Your spot on there. Ive known a couple of people that were made to look like model citizens and pillars of the community by national newspapers, when in reality they were very bad people.

Dougy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Why not put pictures of her doing well at a clay competition, (News Paper) obviously its getting more negative attention. The papers as bad as the hotel in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobt Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 No beans to spill, yes i have met her a few times. We were at a wedding reception at the CLA last week and she doesn't live a million miles from me either. Her dad is an unbelievable good shot, as is her boyfriend! her dad can take the birds in front of you before you think they are shootable, I remember her running about as a small child, she has changed.

Sha Bu Le Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Anyone know if the hotel listed a no guns rule in it's T & C's ? I would also be lodging a complaint against the police. Surely this tantamount to illegal detention, hope she gets her gun back in one piece, some plods are not too carful with them. edit = typo Edited July 31, 2014 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I wasn't referring to the commonwealth games. I've seen her at some north region and England selection sporting shoots and shooting video of FITASC with Mark. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deershooter Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Rachael has just moved over to the Olympic disaplins this year from sporting her dad and boyfriend are both world class shooters The Olympic disaplins req a full squad so every one gets the same birds but not necessary in the same order. This will be very good experance for her Deershoter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 It doesn't say her gun was seized, only that it was taken for storage so it's possible that the police were helping her out by providing her with secure storage so she could stay at the hotel?

grrclark Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 No surprise with the last comment, Scottish Police - English Shooter. What exactly is that supposed to suggest, that the Scottish rozzers were victimising the girl? Are you really so narrow minded to believe that is true? Typical tabloid sensationalised nonsense and of course all those that love to be outraged jump onto the back of it. As it happens both ladies double trap squads had a filler, there were only 8 competitors shooting. One of the gents squads had a filler too. She shot reasonably well as it happens, not that it mattered a jot as all she (they) were doing was keeping the clay firing programme/timings in sequence. The issue is between the hotel and Rachel, if the police were called they are duty bound to turn up and given that the hotel would not let her keep her shotgun there the rozzers stored it for her, perhaps being sympathetic to her plight?? The event competitors (not fillers) were staying at the nearby Apex hotel that was completely secured with concrete blocks and fences, along with armed officers. Incidentally the gun she shot with at the event was a Perazzi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grrclark Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Why the 4 hours or was that an exaggeration? I have no idea, however from the article alone it was just after 11pm arrival at the hotel until 2:30am conclusion, so 3.5hrs and assuming that there was not a police officer on site from the very beginning, it will be less than that. Perhaps an amount of time with the police chatting to the complainant, possibly even given them some guidance on what is or not permitted under the law, a further amount of time with the police chatting to Rachel and then some time spent agreeing what was going to happen with her shotgun, etc. All conjecture of course as none of us know. Anyhow, what is the relevance of your your question to my post? Edited August 1, 2014 by grrclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
