And don't even notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even notice. Hopefully it will be put right quickly now that they know of the mistake. Interestingly, it was the GMP who advised the press that it was "British Association for Firearms and Conservation". They certainly have their finger on the pulse, not!

grrclark Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 The description under the picture is also pretty funny That made me laugh too, someone forgot to remove the tag from the photo stock library, or there is an editor who is very literal with descriptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 I trust it will be cleared up quickly. GMP Firearms Team are fast and efficient, but I have never, ever known them to cut any corners. Far from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derfley Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 From the articles it looks like the GMP have decided to look at their own house due to IPCC investigations into other forces and some irregularities have been found. “We will not be complacent when it comes to public safety, and as a result we have now decided to review all of the 11,000 firearms licences held within the Greater Manchester area. “If we find cases that do not meet the strict criteria for a licence to be granted, then we will look to secure firearms and revoke licences where necessary. – Assistant Chief Constable Ian Wiggett So it looks like BASC, the CA and others are going to be very busy helping those caught up in this through no fault of their own.
