If hand guns are so bad they have been made illegal we should not be holding shooting competitions in this country.

The only time the competitors will be allowed to have their pistols is when they take part in a competition, at all other times they will be kept in the armoury at Bisley. They will not even see them after they enter their transport to the UK, customs & excise will have them in sealed containers. The UK competitors will have to get theirs transferred from France, or the other places they practice.
