i have no additional conditions on my fac air only rimfire and c/f, if it did it would only state for ground game and vermin, are crows not vermin comansense will tell you its not a good idea to be shooting a rimmy upwards but if your sure a 30ft lb 15grn pellet will land within your permision then where is the problem and if you hit what your aiming at it also helps

as long as you have vermin on your cert whats the problem

That's bollocks mate as "the one" said, vermin is vermin and the law goes off the dictionary definition of that!

well law may be the law but this is off steve rawland the fiarms enquiry officer for the gwent police force... as i said im unsure.

At best, Enquiry Officers often have a basic knowledge of firearms law compared to some of their customers. Realistically it should be the other way around.

 

What exactly does the condition for your rifle state on your FAC?

 

If it says anything like vermin and ground game then there is no issue.

Are you planning on shooting them out trees or on the ground? If its on the ground there should be know problem I know a few lads who shoot most there crows with rifles

[The Duncan 802]

If its a powder burner, don't shoot anything skylined. Air power - no problem with skylined quarry as long as you're on a decent sized permission where the pellet is unlikely to leave your air space.
