Knifebar 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Hi Forum, I have a number of rabbits in the field in front of my house and it would be very easy to shoot these B@~{}{P^&s as they have stripped my new fruit trees of bark. (Not sure of the tree will grow now or not). I was going to shoot them and have been told you cannot discharge a firearm after dark. Now I live in N. Ireland and I need to know if there are special rules governing firearms used in these circumstances in this particular region. Does someone know the legal position on this matter or would it be best to contact the PSNI to clarify this? Confused Knifebar Quote Link to post

Knifebar Not sure what the law states where you are but here in England it would be OK to use a shotgun after dark, so long as safety is taken into consideration. The neighbours might have an objection ot two though. Quote Link to post
