[QUOTE="Hindsight, post: 7490128, member: 3169"] This I think may well be what happens. A friends wife was refused a renewal of shotgun licence recently as she has had a course of anti depressants. Did not affect the previous renewals but under the new regime it has as doctor had to declare all such prescriptions - no option to use any judgement. Now in Lincolnshire the medical judgement appears to be made by a police officer. As I said in an earlier post a couple of weeks ago, when my renewal from Lincolnshire Police arrived, with these new requirements to satisfy before grant of a licence the plan, I feel, is to make possessing a shotgun just that little bit more onerous and expensive such that folk like me who use one an odd day in the year for really a social occasion give it up. Then the numbers in circulation will decline - and Plod can report back gun ownership has declined by so many percentage (and say aren't we good PLOD for making Lincolnshire safer) although many / most / all affected will be upstanding law abiding citizens. Goodness I sound like a Daily Mail or Telegraph reader! Well I have paid my £30 and so this week better check to see if GP has uploaded letter to Police website so I can then press on with the renewal. Hey ho. [/QUOTE]
