Shop A Gun Owner
Firearms UK
Firearms UK is an Association campaigning for the protection of firearms ownership within the UK
We have been in contact with Crimestoppers regarding the indication in the Herald Scotland that a new “shop a gun owner” hotline is to be introduced this year.
Their response is as follows;
“Over 12 months ago we did launch a gun-safety line for the police. This allowed members of the public to give information about gun owners who were in breach of their licence. However, this was discontinued after representations from the shooting community.
Since then we have been in talks with police about hosting a new line and we have involved the shooting community in discussions. The line would not be a Crimestoppers line, it would be a police line that we would facilitate through our call bureau.
However, our Director of Operations, Roger Critchell, met with the police last week and the whole matter of the line is now being reviewed by the newly appointed national police lead for licenced firearms so nothing is set in stone as yet.”
If we get any further information we will pass it on
