[mikky]

if its there land and you are there and they own all the rights then i think its fine for them to use your sgc but dont think they can the fac

[David BASC]

There is the 'estate rifle' clause that lets non FAC holders use an FAC, have a look here:

Yep, I guessed that much, thanks.

 

What about someone 'employed' for no fee to pest control on the land?

 

Is someone given permission to shoot the vermin, whether for free or not, a servant?

[miniwizard]

they have to be in earshot of you

[Lez325]

And the land must be cleared for the calibre you / They intend to use

No that's wrong, you may let someone use your rifle on their land provided that you can legally use the rifle yourself - i.e. you have permission and approval if needed from the police.

 

The only caveats are that they must be 18+, and must be under supervision, which is termed as within earshot.
