Hi Salopian
I understand your opint of view - it is probably wise and safest.
However, my news page is for news and gun trade gossip is part of that. Unfortunately, the gun trade is so secretive and protectionist in nature that too much of what goes on is never reported and gets hushed up by the 'network', which includes most of the shooting press. There is too much voluntary censortship going on already.
I have posted it as rumour and have it from 'reliable sources' but if any of the parties would like to refute or rebut the story or give their version, I will gladly post it.
I too wish the proof houses were more professional and deliverd a 21st century service, unfortunately they are not and do not (in my opinion) and it will take an act of Parliament to change that, which ain't going to happen. So, perhaps a bit of public scrutiny of how they operate may bring some pressure, though I doubt it frankly.
