  1. There's a bloke up here in Scotland that breeds beddy/greys...has been for years and to the best of my knowledge he has a good name. Might be too much of a travel though. Just a thought
  2. No mate 1st generation cross mother is cocker father was poodle which is actually a proper gun dog for bringing in game from water thats what they were bred for in america all those years ago official term is american water gun dog mate very big over in the states so forget the big white fluffy things most people see as a poodle it was bred to retrieve Ok mate...didn't know that
  3. The Perspex is only thin. Wouldn't be very Sturdy. Why does it need a roof? Not a roof as such...just something to put over the top as ferrets are masters at escaping...better than harry houdini
  4. You could get a plasterer or your bricklayer to put a smooth render on the block which would give a smoothish finish to it and would hopefully stop them from climbing over it. Probably best to get some mesh or something cut to the size of the roof area and hold it down with a couple of bricks
  5. Agree 110% mate...it's always a mindless few that fcuk it up for the rest of us
  6. I don't have FAC or SGC and have never applied as i don't have a need at the moment but they can refuse you your license if there has been issues with depression etc can they not?
  7. Again thats your interpratation of the law. I own the rifle, however it is held in the gunsafe at Beverley Police Station. The licence is to Possess the gun. Well lets say, before you leave a shop with a gun, new or second hand, have it tested in front of you buy the gunsmith. If your buying a second hand gun from someone, before you part with cash, take a chronograph and check it with light, medium and heavy pellets. Remember that copper I told you about earlier? While I was being assessed at hospital, the police took everything from my home including the frame of a pistolbow wi
  8. This will probably be my next dog in a year or 2. Good luck with your search mate
  9. Good wee read and crackin shootin....would love to up the anti to the bigger stuff Just out of curiosity mate...what height tts are they roughly?
  10. I'm not saying license knives...just using it as an example as the laws seem to be changing all the time with the amount of knife crime its a sad fact I like most people with air guns use them at home and seldom that is a valid reason .In the rest of europe hunting with airguns is not a valid reason it is illegal.As for lethal weapons Mr MacasKill in America a country full of violence and guns there are more murders each year with bats than guns .Children can use bats at present unsupervised James Bulger oh my mistake they used a brick and paint ,we could live in tents they dont have to be
  11. Just out of curiosity mate...is it a 2nd x as you said both parents were working? Can't imagine a poodle gundog
  12. So why would you own an overpowered air rifle without a license and have it kept at a police station? If it belongs to you then you must've bought it or had it given to you so surely a law has been broken somewhere??? Unless it was left to you in a will or something like that and it has to be kept there until you get a license??? Or did you you get caught with it??? Again thats your interpratation of the law. I own the rifle, however it is held in the gunsafe at Beverley Police Station. The licence is to Possess the gun.

The arguements and comparisons are endless mate and we could go on forever. We'll just agree to disagree on some things
  14. It has as to the best of my knowledge you cannot own an air rifle above 12FPE without a license. I maye be wrong but you can use someone elses on private land
  15. I should point out here that tony said he was a few feet from the road, not in the middle of it. That would be silly... If you read throught he posts you will see that he stated in 1 of them that he or a person could shoot from the centre of a public highway I think its been a mix up about the definition of a public highway No I dont have my FAC yet. But the police have said I do have a chance of being granted an FAC because one of my rifles that I own is over the 12 limit. I did say from the centre of a public highway again that qualifying condition comes into play as well as t
  16. Looks good mate but you might find that they'll be able to climb over it with the claws they have. Mine have climbed block. Just a thought
  17. So you have FAC air then for your rifle that is above the limit? I should point out here that tony said he was a few feet from the road, not in the middle of it. That would be silly...

  18. I agree with some of what you're saying but no...not everyone with an air gun has to suffer....only the peolpe that have no valid reason for having 1. At the end of the day...if you have permissions...do pest control...shoot at a range or whatever then where's the problem with a license? If you have none of the above and have no reason to have an air rifle then why have 1 lying around or stuck in a cupboard? Even if a person only shoots once, twice a year and in a responsible manner then they should be entitled to a license but the sad fact is that they are lethal weapons in the wrong hands...

  20. Your fighting a lost battle here AG I have shot across Public Highways on private land. I have shot from public highways (that run across private land) and as mentioned earlier, with a Police officer at the side of me, he didn't arrest me, why? because he has a thorough knowladge of airgun law after I proved him incorrect previously. Instead of getting all high and mighty or heavy handed, he decided to go back and find out the truth. When he sees me going about my lawful shooting now, he comes over to find out how I'm doing. Oh incidently, he was one of the officers who took me to be asses
  21. I do see what you mean But, your statement that I've highlighted is a bit 'Blinkered' for want of a better word, it's your "Interpratation" and our laws are not 100% black and white, they are very open to interpretation. This unfortunately leads to mis-interpratation by a lot of people I also like a good debate You stated that a person can shoot from the centre of a public highway or whatever...now my interpretation of that was that a person can walk out their gate on to a main road...B123 or whatever and shoot birds off of the trees across the road. Now a person just cannot do that
