In message , Alan Holmes
writes Perhaps you could advise me how to get a firearms licence which would enable me to shoot the vermin. And perhaps you could tell me how to make sure the vermin keeps still long enough for me to aim a gun and pull the trigger? It's quite clear that you have never had to deal with vermin in a trap. Unless it is one hell of a large trap anything caught in it could easily be despatched with an air gun which does not need a license. I am in the position where I have a smallholding with shooting rights over enough land to entitle me to a shotgun certificate should I require one, but most of the vermin that we kill can easily be dispatched with an air gun. -- Sue Begg Remove my clothes to reply Do not mess in the affairs of dragons - for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! |

The message
from Sue Begg contains these words: Unless it is one hell of a large trap anything caught in it could easily be despatched with an air gun which does not need a license. I am in the position where I have a smallholding with shooting rights over enough land to entitle me to a shotgun certificate should I require one, but most of the vermin that we kill can easily be dispatched with an air gun. You don't need *ANY* land to be eligible for a shotgun certificate. It can only be refused on the grounds of insanity, or having commited a crime which carries a six month sentence or more - unless the Firearms Act has been amended while I wasn't looking. You don't even need somewhere to shoot - but you must have 'a secure place' in which to keep your shotgun(s). -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Well that excludes some people posting to this thead from holding a Shotgun Certificate. -- Regards, Alan Preserve wildlife - pickle a SQUIRREL to reply. |
