Gareth Davies had a horrific shooting accident while out foxing in January 2024. His shooting buddy Mark Wise saved his life. After we put out a film about the incident – watch it here (age-restricted) – and about their local police firearms licensing department’s slowness in restoring their guns, the police told them it would all be done in a jiffy. Then Gwent Police changed its mind. Here’s what’s happening now.
If this story worries you, please voice your concerns to Gwent police, and send them a link to this film:
