New to the sport? Or just not sussed something out yet? Please ask your questions in here, there are many experienced shooters on the forum and someone will for sure come along and answer your question. This is a section for new shooters so if anyone can think of something please submit it.
Thanks, everyone, for all your responses, especially the recent ones. I must admit to floundering a tad of late, largely due to the complexity of the case, the obfuscation of the CPS, compounded by their incessant changes to the charges, and their failure to present to the Court a formal indictment ( three times I have now appeared at Court for this latter purpose, only to have the CPS state on each ocassion that their appointed prosecutor had been changed yet again at the very last moment, and that the newbie hadn't had time to study the papers yet ; my God, was the Judge angry about that ! )

Hopefully that will all count in your favour, especially if you're having to travel a way to get to court. Some judges do appear to get just as p1$$ed off with that as a normal person and end up dismissing the case

Spiggy;
Appears to me that the only entity floundering here is the CPS. The fact that they haven't been able to get their sh*t together on 3 seperate occasions speaks volumes in itself and I fully agree with Blackstuff when he says that there is every chance the judge himself will get p*ssed off with all the mucking about.
Keep your chin up and the very best of luck to you.
I realise it's a serious topic, but the way that article was phrased:
"one charge of possessing a blank and another of possessing prohibited ammunition, namely cartridges with a bullet designed to explode on or immediately before impact on Christmas Day last year"
...makes it sound like an incredibly specific charge :)
