Why your vote matters in the PCC elections
With PCC elections set to take place on 2 May , BASC’s Martin Parker addresses the question of why you should cast your vote this time around.
Take our short survey on firearms licensing in your area
BASC is working to gather information on the shooting community’s experiences of firearms licensing in England, Scotland and Wales.Â
Our firearms licensing feedback survey asks for information from BASC members and the wider shooting sector on the service provided for grants, renewals and variations.Â
The survey is open to all and takes just a few minutes to complete. We have also included a space for you to share in more detail your experiences – good or bad – with your local police firearms licensing team.
All information gathered as part of the survey will be kept confidential, with all data generated used anonymously. Â
The findings from the survey will be used to inform our work to improve the service provided by police forces to firearms owners and grant applicants, including in the wake of the government’s announcement on licensing fee increases.
