Thread: Useing the firearms register

Just put yourself in her shoes, and you've missed a step in the registration process, and an overzealous detective picks up on it... just saying.

The "very" is the relevant bit there...you can get a childs licence for free..if child is too young to hold rod and wind in fish...well they arent really the one fishing are they??? a family licence will cover them all.... a day licence will cover mum...she can do all the casting and help kids wind in fish no matter thier age they can have a rod each then,its a get around/work around buying a licence herself.... I see your point re an authority with an attitude...but often there is a reason for it
