Thank you! I am curious as to what kind of people are able to “carry” due to “verifiable specific risk”? I am assuming that these individuals are private and not law-enforcement personnel. If your life is threatened by an unidentified person perhaps? Thank you again in advance.
You are correct.
A PPW is for a private citizen. On the mainland, I assume its for people whose background or job puts them in potential harm. I dont know a lot about them to be honest.
PPW’s dont pertain to the police. Most of whom are not armed, armed police in the UK are specialist officers and units.
