The police department that returned the Plymouth gunman's shotgun to him weeks before he killed five people does not have enough staff, a senior officer has said
The inquest was told that returning a licence after it has been revoked is classed as a"high-risk decision" in guidance issued to police in 2016.Police, said these decisions should be conducted by a specialist licensing manager or a senior officer in certain circumstances.
Supt Davis said that Davison would have used a standard form used by forces across the country to apply for his licence and would have had to disclose any medical conditions and convictions, as well as providing a person to act as a referee. However, Davison's GP refused to provide an opinion to police on whether he should be issued with a shotgun certificate.
