geoffwales Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 As i understand it, as long as i have written permission from a land owner i can shoot air rifle and shotgun on his land. But if i go for FAC i cant shoot fac on the same land until its been cleared by feo And if i have an open licence i could shoot the same land without it being cleared by the Feo. Is this right. If so how hard is it to get an open licence with an Fac. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 What you say is correct. Getting an "open" FAC depends on the force in question. Most will give you a closed ticket to begin with though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have to wait for when your fac is up for renewal to reapply for an open ticket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshie Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Do you have to wait for when your fac is up for renewal to reapply for an open ticket If you don't reapply, they normally open it on renewal. If you can prove you have need for an open ticket, you can ask them before that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffwales Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Cheers im hoping for permission on a golf course for rabbit control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackmichaels Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Cheers im hoping for permission on a golf course for rabbit control I've shot on many golf courses in many different countries over the years...normally the rabbits are quite accustomed to human activity and a 12ftlb air rifle is sufficient , especially at night. Normally you have to show your Firearms liaison Officer very good reason why you need an open certificate and they are not as easy to get for casual use as they used to be. By casual use I mean non professional. Good luck nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
