The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

HI Everyone,

It seems from a quick look through that the expected norm is a short intro.

So, Hi,

I now live in Lincoln area (formally of Boston but the less said.... )

Local club is Reepham RSC (Sat club)

Shooting for a number of years both Mil and Civ, SGC for over 7 years FAC 3 and counting.

There are at least a couple of names I recognise on here from other forums so Hi to you guys, you will know who you are.

Am still coming to terms with the many varied and oft confusing rules and regs around civilian weapon ownership.

Looking to get in to reloading my own as of now,

soon to be purchasing 9mm and .223/5.56

At this time shooting for me is a fun (albeit expensive hobby) though I may eventually get back into the comp side of life I have no plans as yet.

I was not here to spot it when Rob posted, it is a firearm

Firearm/rifle/gun...anything just not weapon. That is a military description, not civilian.

Hi Rob, welcome to F-B

Welcome to the forum Rob

Weapon implies that it has intent to do physical harm.

As civilian shooters that is not an option open to us so firearms is a better word to describe to the world that we have firearms for non-violent purposes.

The great unwashed's logic is not great.

Weapon = violence, some one who wants weapons is violent, therefore they are criminals and guns need banning.

As there are more sheeple that gun owners, even some gun owners on here are sheeple, the politicians get more votes following the above logic that the actual truth and reality of the matter.
