Due to some of the content of another thread, I though we might try to find out if spearfishing is under the threat of legislation?
Personally I feel spearfishing has always been under threat but, up until now, at least in the UK we have been left pretty much alone.
Now, however, we are living in a different World than say 20 years ago when the sea was full of fish & everyone new someone with a gun, firearm or shotgun!
My point is - it would not take much to see the government suggesting legislations in various forms ranging from licensing guns to totally banning spearfishing!
Where do we stand on these issues? Who is there to offer support if we find ourselves under threat?
I realise this thread could become quite emotive so it will be well monitored &
edited if necessary - please keep any reply sensible & non personal.
