_martin_ Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Got this this morning. There is an anti-shooting group that appears to be targeting shoots with the objective of capturing photographs of people taking part in the shoot losing their temper whilst holding a gun. Their aim is to send these pictures to the police to get peoples licenses suspended.The CLA Eastern Region have reported an incident on Saturday 16th November where 8 people in black wearing balaclavas arrived with the intent of causing as much disruption as possible to a shoot.We recommend that you take the following into account should this happen to you on a shoot day: Put your gun in its sleeve straight away Call the police to notify them Remain calm and do not allow yourself to react to their actions as this is what they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinF Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 There's a bit more information about the Cambridgeshire incident in an article on the Shooting Times website. It comes up on the ST homepage, put I can't post a link to it for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Here was Me thinking it was unlawful to intimidate people! I really believe it's time they come down HARD of Sabs who quite clearly attempt to intimidate and goad people into a confrontation. Tresspass, with intent to cause disruption to a lawful activity, should be made to fall under criminal tresspass. More should be done to remove the perps and Sue the SAB'S group for loss of earnings etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Regarding the Cambrideshire incident, the Police have apparently received no such complaint as reported by guns on pegs, from the landowner, but did receive one of trespass. So what is going on is anyones guess. Perhaps David BASC could shed some light (and not only on this issue) as I see he's online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorvale55 Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Whilst on the subject of anti's etc., if any of you are on Facebook there has been a group called "SCUM" who have been sending spam and other items to members of shooting/hunting/fishing groups. Following hundreds of complaints Facebook have removed their page, however, they are now back and are calling themselves "S-***", just thought you may like to be aware. ATB.

happy.plinker Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 What a bunch of cowards with their faces covered up, we'll film you and put you on youtube but no will know who we are. Good on the shooters on keeping their cool. Wouldn't it have been funny if all the shooters pulled on black balaclavas too before coming into view.

_martin_ Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Just been looking at one of their web pages, and came up with a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingRebel Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Just goes to show how weak their position really is, resorting to such childish and underhand tactics. My advice for anybody who encounters these people, just keep calm and remember to always smile and wave when they take your photo. It will irritate them immensely.

bluesj Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 As vikingrebel says try to keep a smile when they are filming. When ever possible film them, They don't like it and you it will mean the you have a copy of what has gone on if you need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
