Closed Allow Pistol Shooting at Registered Shooting Clubs

Closed on

Pistol Shooting with live ammunition is effectively impossible in this country. At present, any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30cm in length or is less than 60cm in length overall, is prohibited. This has effectively killed off the sport of pistol shooting, even for olympic competitors.

This petition is to ask MPs to revisit the regulations so that 'normal' pistols can be legally held by individuals for use at Home Office approved ranges and shooting clubs.
