Look through the pages and read my thread 'Legal issues regarding applications', you don't need a DSC to pull a trigger so don't let that put you off.

Do you have a good reason? Yes, a .243 is good enough for deer.... So unless you can't be trusted or need a mentor they can't refuse

well the permission i have isnt wide open spaces so wouldnt be shooting deer at long ranges, and the rifle will mostly be used for fox and small ground game so i was applying for a 223 but would like to be able to have a pop at a roe every now and then

So would you say that's a good reason? I would

 

I can't tell you not to back down to an over zealous department but L+B have always been fine with me, and I'm still waiting to do my DSC1
