Minister Dermot Ahern Outlines Handgun Ban
The Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern has outlined new proposals to seriously curtail the licensing of handguns in the state. The full text of his announcement can be found here.

The NTSA has no further details on how exactly this new regime will be implemented, but wish to point to the following paragraph in the Minister's statement "The Minister is prepared to make very limited exceptions in relation to Olympic sports only." Until we have further information, we are advising our members not to initiate any license applications for the present.

The Minister has also specified that radical tightening of the procedures for licensing handguns will be adopted and we assume that these will also apply to our members when they are published. We will advise you should any further details become available.

Opening Ceremonies PDF Print E-mail

Image Well, it's begun - the Opening Ceremonies for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens are now underway, with a lot of target shooters carrying their nation's flags around the stadium (Nedzad Fazlija for Boznia-Herzegivina, Maria Grozdeva for Bulgaria, Saeed Almaktoum for the UAE, Fehaid Aldeehani for Kuwait, George Achilleos for Cyprus, Oliver Geissmann for Liechtenstein, William Chetcuti for Malta, Asif Hossain Khan for Bangladesh, Michael Maskell for Barbados, Svitlana Kashchenko for Nicaragua and a very well-known name to NTSA shooters, Harald Stenvaag for Norway).

Don't forget that this weekend sees a lot of target shooting events, starting tomorrow morning with Women's 10m Air Rifle, Men's 10m Air Pistol and Men's Trap, the latter seeing Irish Clay Pigeon shooter Derek Burnett competing - which should be going out on RTE tomorrow morning from 0730 our time. Set that VCR, or get up early folks, Derek's performance in training (as reported on Target.ie) has been excellent, and we could well see a medal here!
