stubby Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 the squzzers down hear sit about 3 to 4 meaters from you and thay do not run they do round my way too, its called the PUBLIC PARK you wont get one for vermin contol, well not in the way you describe, as theres already shotguns and rimfire for that, so you could have said for live caught pest/humaine kill, but the fact that you never said that, makes me think you dont have a real need for it, Ive been a fully certified pest controller for a number of years, and I couldent get one when I asked, so good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongski Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 If you cant work that out for yourself I suspect the Firearms Liason Officer is not going to credit you with sufficient intelligence to sanction your permit. First we have members wanting to shoot on remembrance sunday in ear shot of a memorial service then one who wants to know which calibre air rifle to use on a fox then those who want to buy wheat to entice pigeons into feild then someone who wanted to decoy and shoot them on pasture...and now..... God help us...

Billy. Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) This is a good thread. Although.. It's not April 1st by my calendar. Mate, you're not going to get it granted. If however you need any references from fellow shooters for your variation, there's this entire thread who will sign that piece of paper - on the basis that the reference says you're wanting a pistol to use to show off to your mates. Have you attempted and failed at all other means of getting rid of these squizzers? I cannot for one second believe that you can't shoot them with an air gun, if they sit so close. In fact, you'd probably shoot more if you did it with an air gun, as they'd probably not leg it after the trigger's pulled. I was going to go to bed, but I'll put that off for an hour to watch this develop. Edited March 9, 2011 by Billy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Even in Northern Ireland, where pistols are still legal, I could almost 100% guarantee you wouldn't get one granted. A 6 ft/lbs air pistol would be more than enough at that distance, and a lot cheaper too. Good luck anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) While we are on the subject of being pedantic, what is a 4/10 pistol? You have more chance of getting a **** off the pope than getting a .410 pistol for shooting "squizzers" What is one of them?

strongski Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Ha ha you are all very funny. But I do realey feel that I have a good reason for it not just for squizzers but for rabbits and rats I work on a farm with polly tunnals where a pistol would be spot on. But thanks for all the pisstake keep it comming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) How does working on a farm with poly tunnels justify a .410 pistol,as this would cause much more damage than has already been said,an air rifle or air pistol if it's deffo a .410 you want then why not a single.410 folding poachers gun small and light enough to do the job your talking about seen six year olds shoot them.So you should manage this one handed.or even one for each hand.

Billy. Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 not just for squizzers but for rabbits and rats Your FEO would just laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Right chap, let me try and help you as all these horrid **** taking souls who have posted so far obviously don't have a clue and are most unsympathetic to your fancy. They just don't realize that it's easy peasey to get a handgun in this liberal society of ours. You will see in an earlier post the relevant section cut and pasted from the HO guidelines. All you have to do is complete a firearms variation request citing good reason based on what you have gleaned from the guidelines. Basically a .410 pistol is treated by the police in much the same way as a .375 magnum revolver. It's grant is Dependant on you demonstrating good reason to own a handgun. If you can convince the police that you have a good reason then one will become yours. They are freely available to purchase and any reputable RFD dealing in such items and they will be able to help although second hand ones are few and far between. I would have thought that where it asks, on form 101, what you want it for you be completely honest and upfront and clearly write "TO BLAT SQUIZZERS, RAT'S and OTHER PESTS IN CONFINED SPACES". When the FEO comes out to see you his visit will give you ample opportunity to convince him of your requirements. When your fac comes back with the necessary slot you can stick two fingers up at this bunch of disbelievers and laugh all the way to the gunshop. However if hes says "on your bike" I would say little on the subject to our forum members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 LOOK I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW IM PUTTING IN FOR IT SOON THE FEO ARE NOT BAD DOWN HEAR THAY ARE VERY UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE Not for applications for a slot for a section 5 firearm to shoot squirrels they won't! For someone with an FAC, I'm surprised you don't seem to understand that your request won't be considered a good reason. Section 5 slots are normally given for humane despatch and even then they'll try every trick in the book to avoid granting it. I reckon they'll frame your application on the office wall!

Scully Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 As above,just apply for one,citing all your 'good reasons'.It's the only way you're going to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
