Hi Old'un A Bit, both my parents were FAC holders, so I grew up around allsorts of guns from .22 to 45's 357's , shot guns, black powder, I used to help reload. When I was younger I was very keen hunter with air rifles and to this day still have an air rifle.

just going off topic a bit, who is the best insurer for gun usage on private land?

Hi bluesj I have no reason that would prohibit me from a firearm, it just that I'm not that into guns but wouldnt mind learning and the best way to learn is via someone who knows what they're doing. Maybe I should just apply for a SGC, but all the hassle, cabinets etc.

Thanks for your comments, but it is as I thought, unless I am prepared to lease over shooting rights I cannot use his gun on my land with supervision. It seems a strange law, I think I read somewhere that the BASC are trying to simplify the wording, I see if I can find that section again and I'll put it up. Can I lease shooting rights for a few days or weeks ? or is that just to simple.

Hi Newbie here. I know that this topic has been discussed here a lot, but I have a slightly different scenario I think. I have a few acres of land and also some woodland, my friend has a SGC and I have asked him to come and shoot some vermin for me. He has spare guns and said that I can come and shoot under his supervision, but from what I have read this may not be the case in law. although saying that I have not found anything about my situation. Is there anyone out there that may have come across this before? I know if I was the SGC holder I can supervise someone on my land, but being the land owner and inviting someone to shoot on my land does not seem to have the same authority in law, is this so and is there any way I can overcome this. Many thanks.
