I know what you mean, I always err on the side of caution but it’s always good to know the rights and wrongs if you get a disgruntled dog walker trying to ruin your day.

So in essence what you’re saying is that regardless if you’re sticking to all the laws you’re still liable to get done under the “reckless discharge of a firearm”? Is there anywhere online where there is a copy of Scottish shooting laws? I’ve always thought it strange that even with all the inspections and checks they do before issuing a shotgun certificate there is no need to show your understanding of safe shooting or that you know the laws around the use of a gun.

I want to know the correct law about shooting on public right of ways/footpaths. And how far you legally have to be from residential properties and public roads in Scotland. Can someone point me in the right direction? Have been trawling the BASC website but can’t find anything definitive. Links would be much appreciated. Thanks.
