About time!!

📰 BREAKING: Lords remove sound moderators from Section 1

If that sounds familiar, it's because the Government had previously promised to do it "when parliamentary time allows" – and that time has come.

Yesterday, the Lords accepted a Crime and Policing Bill amendment removing sound moderators and flash hiders from Section 1 licensing in England, Scotland and Wales.

Moderators specifically for Section 1 fi****ms will still require the user to possess a shotgun or firearm certificate, but the items themselves will no longer be licensed – so no police variation will be needed.

Commencement date is to be confirmed, but the Bill is expected to become law by mid-May. Until then, sound moderators remain Section 1 fi****ms.

💬 Roger Seddon, shooting campaign manager at the Countryside Alliance, said:

"We hope this change will be brought into effect at the earliest opportunity. The immediate alleviation of some of the administrative burden on police fi****ms licensing departments cannot come too soon, with many forces struggling as things stand."

More analysis to follow.

Well that’s another season over, thanks to everyone that’s invited me out, shared days in the field and made more fabulous memories. Always feel blessed to be out with my fellow countryfolk. The dogs have worked there little legs off and done me proud yet again. They’re now bathed and getting a well earned rest. Guns are cleaned, oiled and put away for at least a couple of weeks when hopefully they’ll be dragged back out for some roost shooting. Boots are also cleaned and oiled. The truck will get some TLC next weekend when hopefully some of this rain buggers off!
