HDAV Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have spoken to a senior inspector at North Yorks this morning - who is a gundog handler and beats on a local shoot. The document is being thoroughly reviewed, in consultation with BASC. Any examples of "over exuberance" will be taken out. The suggestion for such a permission slip apparently came from a public forum involving landowners in the area, troubled by specific problems with poaching and coursing gangs. Its current version goes too far. Carrying your SC/FAC is good practice if you're out - and a copy of your written permission is also handy, particularly in areas where there have been problems with crime. There is no legal force behind the current document. We have a good relationship with North Yorks police, who are one of the better forces as far as shooting and licensing goes. They are as keen as we all are to get the balance right. Any update on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 i think its just a more poncy version of this which i can print of my forces web site its a nominated land form/permission form just covers the very basics, i have always found people actually prefere the look of it as it looks official rather than a scruffy hand written one and i get 2 copys done and send one to the firearms dept and photocopy my one and give it back to the land owner with my licence no's, phone no, basc members no and address all written on for if ever i get stopped and they need to contacted to confirm who i am, someone might learn my name but its not often they get to memorise all the other details so can easily solve any issues like that. nominated land form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 bloody link won't work i think its because i'm trying to make a link to a pdf file! basically its a dead simple form with my forces crest at the top with spaces for land owners details, name of farm, acreage, contact details, then sign that they give me permission to shoot the above land and calibres they've granted me permission to use its dead basic plus if you do get stopped my the old bill there more likely to see the police crest at the top and wave you on your way as it looks official Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
