I still haven't got around to sending my FAC application form away. There seems to be one hypothetical hurdle after another. This is the latest one:
I'm 21 (but I haven't started driving yet!), the range is around 20 miles away. The local bus links are fairly good and well-suited to transporting me to and from the range, which is fair enough because I don't currently own any firearms. This will soon change however, as I'm tired of using the el-cheapo Ruger club guns. I'm thinking of going for either a V22 or a Bremmer.
Obviously this presents a bit of a problem. Common sense dictates that I just can't "take up arms" and jump on the nearest bus! Is this even legally kosher?
Obviously the carbine would be kept stripped (bolt-carrier removed) in a locked case and any ammunition would be carried in a seperate container. Just the standard, common-sense rules of firearm transport.
Since this aint Switzerland, It seems to me that the only concrete and realistic solution would be to start driving!
