Another rumor that I had to substantiate was a change in visitors permits, and the closing of the customs office in Manchester. That’s the desk you clear guns through on arrival in the UK.
That myth was total BS, and cost me probably $100 in phone calls just to make sure.
I brought firearms through Manchester airport without the slightest problems Monday afternoon.
They had never even heard of such nonsense. Pointing out, that, as the gateway to the north, their economy depends on traveling sportsman.
Makes me wonder where these myths come from, they are incredibly disruptive to traveling sportsman.
It was relayed to me while talking to a well-known firearms dealer. I had to call him back and tell him that he was horrendously mistaken. And whomever told him that was full of BS.
