What went wrong? Bryan Thomas, 43, of Berrington Road, Chipping Campden, has spent two days urging Gloucester Crown Court to overturn the decision of the chief constable and allow him to own shotguns again. His appeal to a judge and two magistrates has been supported by the woman he allegedly assaulted, Hayley Brown.

She told the court that she was partially responsible for the violence between them on Christmas Eve last year. She had 'flown at' Mr Thomas and 'tried to scratch his eyes out' during a row and he had acted in self-defence, she said. Mr Thomas' shotgun licence was immediately revoked by Gloucestershire Police after his arrest for alleged assaults on his partner and a year-old.

However, at the start of this week's appeal hearing Judge Ian Lawrie QC pointed out: "He may have been acquitted in the eyes of the law, but not on the facts. Mr Thomas, a self-employed ground works engineer, told court he has handled guns since he was at school - beginning with air rifles before progressing into shotguns. He said: "Living in the Cotswolds I have been around guns for a long time. I own my own gun and use it on land I store my machinery on. It's a privilege to own a firearm.
