Danger-Mouse Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 If it was a petition for repeal for the ownership of pistols for competition/hunting purposes I`d happily sign it. For personal protection, no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin_d Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 To be fair just my personal opinion I think it's good that pistols are banned. They can be used for crime much more easily than a riffle or shotgun. The only thing I can think of using a pistol for is for target shooting. They have no place in hunting. This is just my opinion and I do not hold anything against them who want them legalising. If they where legal I dont think I would ever own one. Thanks.

I agree maybe humane despatch for hunting but that's it or target practice . There is no need for it in this country. Just look at the problems the yanks have!

fenboy Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 The government do not allow our police handguns for personal protection ,so they are hardly going to let us have them are they now ! It would be nice to have them back for target shooting but to allow anyone to have one for the reason of personal protection would be plain daft.

Underdog Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Hunting with hand guns is very real and very doable! If one is a lousy shot with a handgun best say nowt as there are thousands that bring home meat with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one is a lousy shot with a handgun best say nowt as there are thousands that bring home meat with one. +1 well said . I wish pistols were still legal as ive said on here many times but there's not enough unity amongst shooters and nobody with enough to political power and pair of nuts big enough for it happen . This petition won't work because of the self defence bit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ca$h Money Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 What idiot wrote that petition? They are literally saying that we want to use our guns for protection. Don't forget The words of Rupert Campbell-Black The UK is now as dangerous a place as it ever has been. Citizens should have the right to carry and use in self defence personal protection weapons such as personal handguns. There should be certification and provision made for suitable people to carry both openly and concealed in public with a view of being ready to protect property and threats to life. This is only country that has a blanket ban on personal firearms and this is unjust and against our basic human right to protect ourselves.

Muddy Funker Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Without reading any other post I think it's laughable.Protection from what? Handguns are gone, that's it. Never coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin_d Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'm sure you can hunt with a pistol but why would you want to. What are the benefits of using a pistol rather than a shotgun or riffle. What would you be hunting with a pistol? As for humane dispatch, the people that need them have them for this purpose.
