bruno22rf Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Did I read this right?-you have agreed to ring the police and tell them when you are shooting? There is absolutely no obligation for you to do this-If they want to send a couple of bobbies out on a wild goose chase then thats their decision-you are perfectly within your rights to shoot without informing them and,in my opinion,this kind of behaviour should be discouraged.

WelshLamb Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 No, I don't notify the police before I go out. Only the landowners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you notify the Transport Police when you take the car out? No. No need to notify them. If they get another call about some SAS sniper in the fields, they should know it's you. If not, let them come out for a jolly. No need to bend over backwards. You're not doing anything shady. Get on with your business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durham-laddie Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Any report of persons armed or appears to be armed will be checked into. You will then find yourself really popular very quickly. Your under no obligation to advise your relevant force, but nothing ruins your night / day than an ARV with lights and whelps going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madazrex Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 thanks for the advice guys i wont let them know from now on. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 This notifying the police business has been done to death. Some appear to be adamant never to do it, such is life. I do and I don't as the situation dictates, if you are shooting pigeons on the shop floor of a major supermarket in the High Street at night with lights blazing for the night staff to stock the shelves and every womble possible walking past outside, it is usually a good idea to let the police know. This ... "I NEVER DO AND NEVER INTEND TO ADVISE THE POLICE" ..... is a little naive and short sighted! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madazrex Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I think to wrap it up is that if your possably going to be seen by the public entering your shooting area mabe it would be wise to notify the ploice just to get a log number. I will from now on will use my better judgement to see if it warrented to let them know And would like to thank you all for your imput and advice Jason .

HW100TMXMAN Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 I think again that common sense prevails. If your likely to get spotted every time you are out. Then it's worth a 2 min call and log. If for some bonkers reason all hell broke loose and the rossers turned up all guns blasing, copters and the works then ask yourself: is your permission going to be jepodised? All for; and I agree you shouldn't, a quick phone call!!! If however your permission is 20 miles from the nearest sight of civilisation then it's highly unlikely and I wouldn't bother. I lamp in the winter at a permission that can be seen from passing trains. You'll be amazed at how many people report strange lights in the middle of fields...

greywolf1958 Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) Do you notify the Transport Police when you take the car out? No. No need to notify them. If they get another call about some SAS sniper in the fields, they should know it's you. If not, let them come out for a jolly. No need to bend over backwards. You're not doing anything shady. Get on with your business. Interesting one and not necessarily as clear cut as you suggest. My permission is at a school in South West London and apart from the air rifles, my son (also with written permission and a SGC) has started taking his moderated Mossberg 20. Now, should I warn the local bobbies when we are likely to be on site or should we wait for a member of Joe Public to report seeing us, then await arrival of SO19/CO19 who think another Dunblaine may be on the cards? S019 don't **** about, they'll shoot you for carrying a table leg in a bag then ask questions afterwards.... What a dilemma. Bottom line is that it costs little to cover your backside and do whatever is necessary to minimise the potential impact of your activities even if outsiders have absolutely no business with what you're doing. Sometimes you might think it's not worth bothering Bill but sometimes it pays you to do so; hopefully you'll do what's right in your situation. (Did I mention we wear dayglo tabards with 'Pest Control' clearly printed across the back?) Shoot safe!
