Fact is it max? What do you know of facts. Dreamt up propaganda more like.

Why not if it's perfectly legal, which it is to my understanding?If your home is invaded then you can defend yourself with a gun. Under the same law you can defend others... it against the law to discharge a firearm on a public road.. Not if that action is required for a reasonable level of force to protect the life of the officer. ok I know of a case were a young fella playing football in the street got shot in the leg..his father lifted the goose gun an shot the culprit as he made his escape take a guess of the result..an nobody died But that isn't an example of self defense or defending

Not if that action is required for a reasonable level of force to protect the life of the officer. Problem is, would they accept it was your place to protect the officer? At the very least I'll bet you would never see your fac again Well I dont know, but you have that right in law. The only wiggle room is what's reasonable force... lethal force is reasonable

Just what is legal. A police officer battoning a criminal is kinda what they do... so unless I thought the offic

Why not if it's perfectly legal, which it is to my understanding? I think because to hold an fac you're supposed to be of a calm and non violent disposition. Don't really know the answer to this one. Defending someones life is not limited to violent people or unhinged.

I would see it as perfectly legal under our laws to intervene with your firearm. Criminal law act and human rights act.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-defence_in_English_law Under statutory provision!

there wasn't much unity when digging got bannedBadgers or foxes? Like I said, what I see of the lads around me is value and enjoyment of a wide spectrum of sports. From lads in hunt service, to young keepers, to the amateur weekend warriors like myself who are just keen to be out in whatever spare time we have.

The shooters round here have decimated the hares, should hang their heads in shame I agree. Nothing should be decimated! Fortunately around my way, most shooters leave hares unless specifically after one for the bag. We have a rule that the only hares to be shot are for a specific order. As a result no hares have been shot this season and there are healthy numbers. A few lads take part in the Feb hare shoots annually on the estates that require the control. All money goes to the local church and community. Unfortunately the worse news for hares here are hit and run coursing lads that

If we start arguing over which has the moral high ground all that happens is further division. It doesn't achieve anything. I'm just thankful that a lot of the youth in field sports today value all of it. I've got die hard hunting mates that I run the lurcher with that enjoy a bit of shooting and I see a lot of young underkeepers running lurchers and digging. I hope this generation find unity and won't fall into the disgustingly spiteful view of selling their brothers out to save their own skins.
-
Well, there we have it. Unity in the countryside.
-
It's not the same at all. I've told you why. If it's a shooting estate, then shooting hares won't be harming anybody's sport, unless you're poaching. If it's a coursing estate then hares won't be shot. Banning hare shooting, is exactly the opposite to what I would consider supporting shooters. A game licence would do nothing to help the shooting community, just another tax, the revenue from which is pennies compared to the economic value of shooting. But they're still expected to 'chip in' despite you wanting to ban part of their sport!

I spent a week one November with the Ulswater, back when John hunted them. He very kindly put me up in his cottage for the week. I saw some excellent hunting, couldn't have planned it better. It's the sort of stuff that cleanses the soul. Great experience!
-
The point I am trying to make, the same point I tried to make last March. We should all support each other! Whether or not a given activity is to your taste. This game licence suggestion of max's, sounds great on paper, let's get coursing legal again, let's everybody support it! Oh but f**k the shooters, they're horrible c**ts!
-
I wasn't arguing coursing vs shooting. I wouldn't, I think both are valuable British fieldsports. I was arguing how you could justify enforcing a game licence on shooters, solely for the benefit of coursing men, when you would gladly stab shooters in the back. But if you insist, the example you gave is illogical. Going in a keepers pen to butcher his birds is mindless vandalism. Shooting hares on a shooting estate is of no concern for coursing men. The two aren't even similar. Now if you said, how would a keeper feel about a coursing man shooting pheasants on a coursing estate that had no
-
So, you want all other fieldsports to pay a licence fee just so you can legally course, while at the same time you would ban part of the sport that the shooters (who are supporting you in paying a licence in exchange for coursing to be legalised) enjoy. You'll have a hard job convincing the shooting community to scratch your back when all you're doing is pissing on theirs. Especially seeing as a licence would not benefit the majority of fieldsports at all. Even the 30M you quote is piss in the ocean to what shooting alone is worth to the British economy. I just don't get your reasoning
-
I'm curious Max, why should shooters pay for a national game licence again, in an effort to legitimise coursing, when only last March you were calling for hare shooting to be banned?
-
Surely the fact that it is capable of holding more than 2 in the magazine means it's no longer classified as a shotgun by law? Whether or not you use that capability is neither here nor there I would have thought? -
It ain't right though! Same as having barbel in stillwater.

Anybody used the Remington 1100 in 410? Looks tasty!
-
Never mind the terrain or the fact that the majority of the team was green, the fact that there was so much other game around that was off limits must have made life a difficult. If it was like shelling peas I can't imagine it'd be worth travelling across Europe for. Live, learn, regroup, adapt and try again. I look forward to seeing how things develop!

I doubt I have seen 100 woodcock in my entire life!

So still going with the fish then? FFS Now Mr landowner, rent a JCB and dig my duck flighting pond out! Nothing extravagant, say 30m diameter with an island and feed regular with barley. Give me a shout when you have a decent number coming in.

Not antagonistic at all Chris. You're clearly well read on this and have a strong opinion. Personally I am very defence orientated and imo not enough is spent on it and more than enough is spent on healthcare. You personally may not feel terrorised but equally I do not feel like my privacy has been invaded. I'm under no illusion when I say the terror threat IS escalating. Now in the absence of actively and preemptively neutralising all known threats we have to play the democratic long game and to do that my understanding is that our security forces need the right to certain personal infrin
