Pistol Refusal by High Court Judge ?

Piece on 9 o'clock news. Pistol licence refused by high court judge in Donegal.

Yet more views of Dunblane by RTE

1st refusal by high court judge ? Has the tide turned ?

Judge reckons Supers have to stop build up of firearms in communities ?

It's not the first time that a court case to get a firearms licence hasn't gone in favour of the shooter, but it's rare enough.

I'll wait to see the transcripts I think. The devil's in the details with these things.

BCC, I'm doing it very shortly, enough is enough

Re refusal, first time it was on 9 o'clock news with a damning report on the alarming number of licences issued and picture footage of Dunblane. Spoon feeding the masses by a biased media

Re transscripts, I heard the report. did you ? Now please don't insult my comprehension abilities

We don't know the ins and outs of the case, there appeared to be emphasis on the issue of demonstrating good reason to own a "high power pistol", and from my hearing of it the Judge backed the Superintendent, with regards to refusing to grant a licence for a "high power pistol" and added in his bit about the proliferation of legally held hand guns in the community since 2004.

Now as I see it this guy has two choices

1, Accept the ruling
2, Appeal to a higher court (if possible)

Judges have opinions too and some of these cases are going to be lost. The devil is in the detail

Granted there may be stuff not mentioned, but that's it, there was no reason stated, except that the judge backed the super and that in the judges opinion there are too many pistols and firearms in the community. It seemed to me that the person was refusesd on public safety grounds. No mention of good reason, security, character etc.

Then RTE show footage of Dunblane. Maybe the Prime Time show was a hijacking of Mr. Cloonan after all. If it was I now apologise to him.

Spoon feeding the masses by the national broadcaster, that there are loads of pistols in their communities and that people, and subliminly, children, by the reference to Dunblane, are in grave danger.

Now whose orders are RTE following ?
