    Lawful Excuse or Reasonable Excuse is the exact terminology, a Police Officer would apply to finding such liquids/knives/weapons in your possession.

    Clearly, the way they were being carried or concealed would also have a major impact as to your being arrested, cautioned or indeed reported for summons.................
    ie Travelling to an approved club range or authorised land, with weapons and ammunition duly covered, with a Firearms certificate or copy to hand, would be deemed as a Lawful Excuse.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    It would be most helpful when people are caught deliberately "misbehaving" with knives and other offensive weapons that sensible sentences are handed out by the courts.

    I have to say one of the things that particularly grinds my gears as a shooter regarding this proposal is having our sport mixed in with the utter scum, who carry out acid and knife attacks.

    It really shows the distain the Government hold us in.

    When you read the report, I get the distinct impression that the HO consultation is trying to imply they have suddenly "discovered" to their horror that people are allowed these dangerous firearms.

    In the case of the MARS, the design was worked on with very close consultation with the HO and subsequently fully approved .... by the very people now seeking to ban it!

    Meanwhile, really dangerous illegal firearms come into the UKicon via cross channel ferry and container ship.

    Still as long as Civil Servants "look like" their doing something, that's all just fine...
