Thedeerman Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) You can get one, depending on where you live! I have mine for control of vermin in and around buildings. I requested it for dispatch, but had a phone call explaining that it could only be issued for this purpose, so that's all i use it for!

al4x Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 That's quite interesting as a few knackermen seem to use them, so you would have thought despatch would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobba Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 There is a website www.fourten.org.uk which shows pistols and has contact facilities for like minded people. You could try ther. Bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedeerman Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 If you decide to get one, I have a Belgian side by side hammer pistol that I would sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Frenchie - 13.20 Section 4 of the 1997 Act allows the possession and use of shot pistols in calibres .410 and 9mm rimfire, provided that such a pistol is “subject to a condition that it is only for use in connection with the shooting of vermin” (see Appendix 3 for the exact wording of the condition which covers these circumstances). This exemption was intended mainly for pest controllers who may need to use a firearm of this kind in farm buildings, farmyards and similar areas where use of a conventional shot gun would be inappropriate, for example fruit cages or near release pens. If you wanted it conditioned for humane dispatch that shouldn't be a problem in itself, but would fall under section 5. So long as you can provide good reason then there is no reason it cannot be granted. People harp on how pistols are banned, but I own 2, have a 'shared' condition on a 3rd and have a free emergency slot should I need to acquire another at short notice.

kent Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I don't get this pistol around buildings thing. I get it if you have to crawl down a hole or have the requirement to carry it as a small perhaps concealed package. I have used a full sized air rifle off ladders culling ferals at 4ft range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
