  1. Nope, you can immerse a diesel in water, as long as it can exhale its fine.

     

    Try telling that to my poor passat last year!

     

    i.e breath, never seen a passat with a snorkel :no:

     

    Admit I rushed the reply and didn't read thread properly tho :good:

     

    Never seen a van with a snorkel either :D

  2. It depends on what type of shooting your taking part in (I take it thats what you want them for).

    I use the Radians cease fire plugs when on a shoot. If your on the clays use a set of over ears as this protects the bones around the ears not just the ones inside.

  3. Just watched Louis Theroux and there was a guy on there that had 12 convictions for burglary and torture, he got over 500 years plus 11 life sentences!!!!!!!

    Over here you would get 4-5 years for the burglary if that, and probably another 5 years for the torture. It seems a bit OTT, if your going to give that amount of time behind bars why not say life with or without parole?

     

    And if your interested the torture was holding someones head under water until they divulged what he wanted to know.

  4. The Government has ruled that it is now illegal to shoot a crow, rook or pigeon for the pot without scaring it first.

     

    So if I chucked the bird in the bin do I still have to scare it before its shot??

  5. Are you trying to get my post count up even quicker you little so-n-so :lol:

     

    Please read the first post slowly and carefully :lol:

    How did you guess, trying to catch you up :lol:

     

    It may be worth the shop owner talking to his local firearms force and ask them, its 50/50, technically the gun belongs to the guy who didn't pay for it, but then again it wasnt paid for hence the 50/50 :unsure:

     

    I'm sure the gunshop knows what they are doing and where to go next, I would like to hope so anyway!

  6. I dont think it is theft, its a bit like going to ASDA and saying do you have any pies for sale, they dont but they will in a few hours. So you say I will pick them up when ready, you haven't paid a deposit or the full amount, no money has exchanged hands.

    He is not in possession of an illegal firearm as he hasn't purchased (no money exchanged) nor has he the gunshop signed the gun over.

    The shop filled in the fac so he has bought it but not paid for it. Otherwise they could lose thier RFD ticket for letting someone take a firearm unlisted on the fac.

     

    Ref first post

     

    "The owner filled all the details out on his fac.Then the so called friend said he hadn't got the money on him.Could he drop it in the next day.Which the owner agreed to as this has happened before and he had always came back as promised."

    So the gunshop filled in the guys fac?

  8. I am not entirely sure the system is a joined up as some think, not yet at least. This is an open forum so I am not about to go saying what I really want to as I don't think it's in the public interest.

     

    Save to say I don't think having your ticket revoked would stop you from obtaining a gun from somewhere you were well known, especially a policeman. After all the license is revoked, you decide you can't find it, ok you ain't licensed but you still have a ticket...

     

    I'm sure it would have been big news if he had his ticket revoked in the area, maybe a bit of common sense would have prevented this. remember the murder happened over a year ago so everyone would have known especially the ground owner!

  9. This is the point webber made, if you are into clays then sign up with the CPSA, if you shoot live quarry join BASC.

     

    CPSA - Protection for your sport - the CPSA liaises closely with the BSSC, Police and the Home Office.

     

    In my opinion CPSA does a lot more than BASC, read all the points in my first post.
