Harnser Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I travelled many times on the train from Norwich to the Burney arms pub near Yarmouth . Gun In a slip dog on a lead and my backpack . Me and my mate did this for many years . Going by train was the easiest access to the halvagate marches and Breydon water . Had many a super flight on these marshes . Used to bring shot birds back in an old sack . Yes thy were the good old days . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flynny Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) Just get on the train with the gun on show( but broken obviously) your cartridge belt fully loaded with carts (BB's obviously)around your waist, If anyone challenges you just say in a very loud voice , " don't worry fine citizens of the U.K. I am a licensed gun owner , who is here to protect you from terrorist" Doth thy tweed cap and take your seat Lol, lol, lol Flynny Edited June 14, 2017 by flynny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I do it all the time, especially in the City of London with armed police all over the place and have never had a problem with trains, tubes or the DLR. I've got a lovely break down case now that looks like a rucksack - It's unbranded and raises no suspicion at all. Keep it on my lap and ammo in a different bag. Don't do it furtively or look horribly worried - Just act nonchalant and keep your hands on the straps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I do it all the time Although on boats not trains I follow the shipping company guidelines declaring the gun and ammunition (hazardous cargo) Observing there protocols and never have a problem We do have various responsibilities as firearm and shotgun owners And in my opinion should do the correct thing Would anyone even consider getting on a plane without the relevant documents and consent? Why should a train be any different Just my thoughts All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer425 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Job done went up on the train sat next to the window gun box on the floor next to me, no one asked me what was in the box. Makes me wonder why i was ever concerned about doing this, but in these days of counter terrorism i had visions of me being picked up on some secret detection device and innocent and law abiding as i am the fear of being jumped on and surrounded by a SWAT team was a fear. I simply did not want to have broken some new fangled law that put me in the soup forever. Stupid concerns when i think about it but who knows what could happen in these times and what technology the forces of law and order employ these days.
