Interesting....doesn't mean anything will happen though...
I think the most likely scenario will be that shooters will be able to use pistols during the games, and only during the games. After that everything will be back to what it is now.

In due course we will see Section 5's for IPSC 'approved' .22's (maybe .32's as well) for registered competitors shooting under NRSA auspices in competitive competitions. So no plinkers or .44 magnum hand cannons.
No change in the law is required, zilch, nada, the Home Sec can grant a Section 5 on his say so. There are enough out there already. ANdy |

ANdy, you say due course...can you explain a little more? It sounds great, but would you be able to compete with say, walther P22's, or would it be limited to 'competition' type .22's?

Hand Cannon? It's not that bad.....  I can't see them changing anything, especially for a minority of Olympic hopefuls.  I too, am crossing stuff, but not holding my breathe... |

The problem is that it's such an EMOTIONAL subject for most sheeple, there will be almost no logical, objective decisionmaking when it comes to allowing us shooters access to anything in semi-auto handgun format....especially with all the crimnality in the UK. It's a shame people can't see that the ban has had 0% effect on criminals using guns...if they want them, they'll get them, easy enough.
If we want guns as law-abiding citizens, we have to jump through more hoops than circus poodles.

@ JohanLondon, the P22's have a crap trigger, and in the std version the barrel is to short for any serious tgt shooting, just my €0,02 worth. You would be better off with the Sig mosquitto.

Bunch of friggin doom and gloom merchants!
 Watch my lips and follow closely; 1) There is no need to change any law. 2) Under existing legislation the Home Secretary can issue ANYONE he chooses a Section 5 permit. 3) The Home Secretary does indeed issue them, a number of PDW's, Collectors, Training companies, Prop companies have them. 4) It has been put to the Home Secretary that the system used for Section 7 has proved that handguns can be safely used by the public, and a similar system could allow the return of Target Shooting. 5) For those tht say the .Gov will never change it's mind. CO2 pistols and rifles where Section 1 firearms prior to 1998 but were deregulated. 6) The HO has granted 6,000 Section 1 pistol permits already, I have one! My Brocock! The .Gov say they can be readilly converted to fire bullets so they all became Section 5 unless you had a licence for them in which they became Section 1. The anti's don't raise hell about that! It's perfectly reasonable to extend that to 'real' pistols. ANdy |

Will the government be 'brave' enough to actually make a decision on this ?
 Does Fungus at the Home Office have a clue ? If they do, will it only be for the Olympic 'elite' or can we all have a go ? Afterall I could be the next Mick Gault !
