On the question of peoples names AND ADDRESSES being put in the public domain in relation to court cases involving firearms licensing.

I wholeheartedly disagree with that practice. I would hope that, in future, the courts would require that the names and addresses of those individuals not be allowed to be published as part of the court report.

If someone enters a public competition and wins it by all mean their name and the name of their club should be published if they wish it to be.

In IPSC every competitor has an Alias which they can choose when the join (and can never change). If you see "FrJack" winning Irelands first presidents medal - it's me!!!! All publicly quoted information, such as your world ranking, is published with your alias.

If the individual, their club or indeed country wish to publish their actual name that is their perogative.

I just have a REAL problem with peoples addresses, even the name of their town, which in rural areas amounts to the same thing, being published in relation to news regarding firearms - unless of course it is in relation to firearms offences which is not relevant to the topic.

It's a simplistic way of looking at things unfortunately. Getting your local Gardai out to see your style of shooting might help as you say.

Rob Leatham had to travel all the way to the world shoot in Venezuela - back when I was sitting my Inter Cert - to kneel in that puddle.

We've come along way since then. I think I'm the only person I know of still wears jeans when shooting practical.
