To be honest when i had my interveiw with the gun officer he was here for 10 mins and never said anything about the genaral licence! A forum is all about askin questions and thanks for the helpfull awnsers! Now i know lamping pigeons is against the law i and others wouldnt do it! In my view i think everyone thinks i was shootin the bird as it was asleep in a tree well belive it or not i have morals and the pigeons were flying out from the trees! But like i say i now know its against the law i wouldnt be doing it again!! We all have our own veiws i respect that!
