    One of the son in laws has a place down in the middle of France and they hunt wild boar ect there so the intention was to go down but by the time that happens we will be well out of the EU. SO I can't really see the point of it.  Son in law says that on certain days everyone turns out en masse to shoot and shoot at everything that  moves !!!  So it is better to stay inside and lock the doors.!!!  I don't know if anything will replace it but if it was all banned we could borrow a shotgun from one of his farming neighbours down there.  Maybe. 

    Something will replace it I’m sure ,I have the option of borrowing a gun but nothing like using your own

    Because of Brexit I didn't put in for a EFP on this application.   Didn't think that it had any purpose but the department rang me up a d asked why I hadn't applied.   I replied that I didn't think that there was  much point with the Brexit situation but they said that they were still issuing the certs out so they would issue me with one.! It wasn't going to cost me aything but I  still cant see the point now.

    I did wonder what the outcome would be after Brexit ,all I can say is mine expires along with my SGC and that’s way pass our apparent departure from the EU 

    cost me nothing other then a couple of phone calls one was straight forward and the other a complete €¥#! Talking at me with his great importance ?completely unnecessary

    I dont actually have any solid walls in my bedroom (plasterboard) and was wondering if its possible to bolt a gunsafe into the floor? And would the inspecting officer be OK with this?

    I live in barn conversion and although I have brick work walls downstairs the bedroom upstairs are timber stud and just plasterboard over 

    if you find the studs cut out the plasterboard fit additional stud in line with bolt holes for gun vault using existing stud for the other holes , I then used 100mm timber locks (caution on size of stud on this ) use over sized washers to really clamp the vault to wall , a good impact driver drill and it’s as good as to masonry if not better imo ,I wouldn’t fix to the floor unless you know exactly where your pipes run

    To be honest there was some extra paperwork that was required some years ago but that may well have changed so the best place to contact is the CPSA who have members travelling all over the world representing England as well as private competition entrants so would be able to advise.  I will be going to Highlodge in Suffolk the week after next for a days shooting and could ask John Bidwell, the owner, who is 8 times world champion at sporting and shot all over the world so if you have not been able to establish the correct method, I will find out for you.

    Thanks Phil would very much appreciate the input if you could ask as the more information I get on this the better as it’s  1st time I’ve taken firearms to Spain 

    not till Christmas We go all being well with the virus situation,

    I don't know if it's the same as the ferries here but, your supposed to declare guns and ammintion at the port, they can then decide what to do with them, separate safe storage or crew hold your keys. I think every ferry company has their own rules, so best checking direct. They can refuse travel here if undeclared, but I never have, and how would they know if you don't declare? 

    Thanks mate I think I will contact the ferry company just to clarify and that way I know what to expect from them ,where the gun goes on ferry or if it simply stays in the vehicle as once on board the car decks are completely unaccesable

    Hi everyone just looking for some additional information on the subject headed ,i recently applied and received my European firearms pass with my chosen shotgun printed on ,

    now the question is as I’m transporting the gun in my car to the ferry then on to and through Spain do I have to do anything else other then declare it at customs at ferry ports ? 

    The reason for asking is because I was meet by what I’d consider an unhelpful person at FAC licensing dept on phone just to point out my FAO is spot on just impossible to get hold of ?

    As long as Man sets foot on the land and there is game to be had, there will always be sets of dog prints in the mud, The prints may vary in size and number but the Hunter/poacher/dog man partnership is forged of blood sweat and tears for generations. Laws may come and go but that particular partnership has stood the test of time. Some of the breeds have changed overtime, some have not, people who use dogs for a particular purpose have in the past tried to breed the perfect animal, some have come close others have f****d it up. show ring dogs come to mind especially those claiming to represent the working breeds. A dog can only reach full potential in the hands of a man who knows his animal and its qualities and capabilities, Some of the x,s now are bollocks to say the least and many are trying to reinvent the wheel.Dogs are an integral part of human and family life treat them right and they will be with you for ever a good working dog is worth more than money all though many have that back to front.

    And this is what the antis and the f**k ups just can't get there heads around or into !

    Been out with a litter brother to yours Gaz a few times now just showing him bits n pieces, he's got all the makings off a good dog! Nice size and shape to him

    Didn't realise you knew the fella who's got him. Courseadog?

    Speak to him regular and he seems really happy with him so far.

    Here's mine same litter as Gazs bitch really pleased with this dog

    how are they bred exactly? That's a fantastic looking dog. Funny how people say bitches mature quicker, your dog looks mature but gaz bitch still looks young.
    These pups were hard work to say the least but over the last month I'd say they have both come on massively Gaz entered his a little earlya then I did bit as you can see his bitch was ready and doing well mine just needed a few tweaks before I was happy to start but all good now

    They are breed Wheaton grey sire x colie bull grey

    That's true hubbs about the sire being sold but I do believe the sire was put to one of Chris hinklings bitches weather it was before or after he was sold I don't know that there is at least 3 other lads I know of on a different site where he was used around 9/10 months old the pups now
