ACPO FELWG
Posted: Wed Feb 05, 2014 8:37 am
Whilst idly searching the Internet over breakfast I stumbled upon the Association of Chief Police Officers, Firearms and Explosives Licensing Working Group (ACPO FELWG).
Whilst I was aware of the ACPO I'd never heard of FELWG but the minutes of their bi-annual meetings (March & October), do make good reading, particularly if you've been through a recent application, variation and/or renewal recently!
In addition, there was a thread on here a few weeks ago about a 9mm lever release LBP, well it would appear from the FELWG March & October 2012 minutes that a decision has been made to categorise a .45 lever action pistol in the National Firearms Licensing Management System (NFLMS) as a carbine.
I therefore assume this type of firearm has now received approval and if anyone finally produces one they'll be available as section 1 firearms?
No sign of the Oct '13 minutes as yet but with March just round the corner they should be posted soon. I'm already looking forward to the next instalment!
