Guest JohnGalway Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Live carts I'm presuming? Or have ye a specific way of disposing of spent ones? Either way, I'm glad I'm not him. I hope it turns out well, but it was a silly thing for anyone to do if it were live carts. Quote Link to post
The one 8,598 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 What's the panic as long as they weren't live carts ?? Quote Link to post
cbw 4 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 I am worried now!!! When I am out shooting I aiways pick up my spent .22 cases. These then get put in the recycle bin as I thought that would be the best way to dispose of them. Is this wrong or was it live carts your mate chucked in the skip? CBW Quote Link to post
alimac 882 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 sorry, yes they were live.... just spoke to the lad again, all of it as it turns out was over 2 mis fired shells in with a few hundred emptys and broken clays etc in a box, they (the law) accepted it must have been a mistake and just came around to slap there wrists.. lucky Quote Link to post
Country Life 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 My shooting club have a chap who collects the empty brass and lead from our range, apparantly he has to have a liscence to do this due to the amount of un-burnt powder in the cases and the sweepings, IT IS AN EXPLOSIVE PILE OF SCRAP, and rarley does come across a live round. All such missfired rounds etc have to be handed to the range officer so they can be desposed of in a proper maner. I hope your mate doesnt get the full force of the police on his case but in all honesty he is to blame for not pointing out to the staff on the tip / landfill site of the potential COSHH problems with such material. I wish him luck.. It would be interesting to find out what happens.. John Quote Link to post
