Trigger happy Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Does anybody have rights to shoot airguns on their local tip or landfill site?Who do you ask?Do they deal with it themselves?I have about 5 tips within 10 miles of where I live and would be happy to shoot at any of them.

lurcherboy Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Council ones use the 'you could sue us if you were to have an accident' line Like Mark says try private ones. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elowarr Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 I work for our local council and have to go to the tip at least three times a week, I have spoken to some of the lads who work there and they have told me that the place is crawling in rats and foxes at night. I might ask this week about shooting there but I doubt if they will let me what with insurances and H&E issues. At the moment during working hours there is a man in a sentry box with a shotgun which fires blanks he also flies a rather large hawk to keep the gulls away.

Trigger happy Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I`ve been to the tip when it`s been dark and I`ve seen people sifting through the rubbish,they`re not supposed to be there but the staff turn a blind eye to it.I think it`s worth asking one of the lads there what he thinks.It would be fun shooting so many rats.Cheers for your comments guys.

plexer Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Just because they turn a blind eye top people rifling through the rubbish doesn't mean that it's a good idea to ask them about illegally shooting there. Without the landowners permission that would be armed trespass. All it would take is for a local to see you and call the old bill. Plus there is a difference between a local tip and a landfill site.

Trigger happy Posted September 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 I`m aware of the law and the difference between local tip and landfill site,also if the question is aimed at the right person it may be granted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarms Posted September 18, 2006 Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 >also if the question is aimed at the right person it may be granted. Unless that 'person' has the authority to say yes then his answer means squat when you get pulled up for illegally shooting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
