Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Get in touch with BASC, I suspect the council don't have a leg to stand on, did you get the lapel numbers of the coppers who came to question you about your shotgun? I'd be making a polite complaint and highlighting their lack of knowledge, also saying you are concerned as you are a responsible law abiding citizen and you don't want you reputation tarnished because they don't know the difference between a spaniel and a running dog.

Why would a running dog make any difference? Glad to see its getting sorted though ant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hydropotesinermis 724 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 A running dog wouldn't make any difference, I thought from the original post that when the fuzz came to his house they thought he had been using his Spaniel as a running dog. That was my point about their lack of knowledge. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because according to the police, everyone with a running dog is an evil poacher who lamps deer and baits badgers... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomburras 2,730 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 What a farce - Incompetent people nearly causing you bother when you have done nothing wrong! The lack of common sence and knowledge in people is umberlivable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
