Recommendation
We heard (for example, from Reverend Gordon Matheson) that people close to an individual may not know that they own, or are applying to own, firearms.129 This lack of knowledge may prevent family and friends from reporting concerns about an individual who is not best placed to own firearms (for example, because of poor mental health).
