“I will draw for the Glock and aim for your block”
that was an actual song a few years back.

You do realise they are only 2 shot? Hence no preban revolvers or pistols were "transferred".
You're not getting one in the UK, excluding NI. I used to have a Model 23C Glock, zero possibility of owning one now. It was absolutely reliable though, great in competitions despite being a "plastic" gun
So under these sections, is there any way at all a member of the public could own something like a fully functional Desert Eagle?
In your dreams.They are generally granted with restricted magazines (although not exclusively, force dependent) and highly unlikely you'd be given an unnecessarily large calibre, more than is sufficient for the intended purpose. Really not all that much more difficult to obtain than section 1, if you can demonstrate the need for one.
You won't get one, it's as simple as that.What FAC licence would you need to own a hand gun? Because I thought that was impossible!
Yeah, there's a bloke in my local pub like that. He often alludes to the stuff he's 'not allowed to talk about' and like 20,000 other people, he was first into the Embassy.I belonged to a gun club years ago and the owner had a Glock 17 9mm which he carried around in a holster. He had a long career in the military in the Parachute Regiment as a sniper and some other stuff which he wouldn't divulge in.

I'm not aware of any regulations that allow an ex squaddie or a civilian to carry a holstered handgun around with them. I recall seeing quite a few cases of ex-forces members being prosecuted for having unlicensed firearms so it's not a case of the laws not applying to them.I just wanted to know how he would be able to have a hand gun that was all.
Don’t start blaming this on the government. The police have plenty enough resources to make the decision that someone who’s a sandwich short of a picnic should not have a gun licence.

No, it was given back because he had attended an anger management course.His weapons were taken away because of an allegation of an assault. They were given back, presumably, because that didn’t go anywhere. How were police to know he was a fruitcake?
100%No, it was given back because he had attended an anger management course.
if someone needs an anger management course, they are not a suitable person to own a pump action shotgun ffs
And to top it off, his own family has been pleadingly the NHS and the police for him to receive mental health care. This had **** all to do with the government, it’s a failure of the system and pure negligence.

Well I’ve had my hands up a fair few old cows, but I’m not a vet, no.I believe vets are allowed to own handguns for the purpose of 'humane destruction' of animals. Are you a vet?
I'm pretty sure he was more than just a para and had it for reprisals or something along those lines. As I I have posted above he wasn't full of **** and didn't tell stories! The gun was the real deal and he showed me across a counter top about two feet from me. The club had a huge walk in armoury to house the usual rifles, shotguns and ammunition which was alarmed to the local police station so all was above board so I wouldn't have thought he obtained it illegally.haha!
gotta agree with Feek on this one, there’s no way he’d be getting away with that, ex para or not.
