tulkyuk Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 once its passed its passed or so my flo told me Yes, but the land may only be passed for rimfire, but not centrefire - ask your FLO, as he will tell you what is what and will do a land clearance check if required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 They may need to come out and look again. It depends how much effort the FEO put in last time. It's daft really, they should just pick a number for the maximum calibre and stick to it (allowing a small amount of reasoning if somebody wants something a little bigger than stated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 The land may never have been cleared if the farmer bought it after he got an open certificate - or if he got an open immediately... which i'd think would be quite commonplace in the case of a farmer on his own farm.

Quite true, and some farms may have a number of rifles in use on them, and never have been cleared if all are using the land on open tickets. Another loophole (although a convenient one for shooters) in our firearms laws. If a farmer asks you to shoot on his land, there is no legal requirement for you or the farmer to notify the police and get it cleared for firearms.

markbivvy Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 If a farmer asks you to shoot on his land, there is no legal requirement for you or the farmer to notify the police and get it cleared for firearms not to sure about this. what if a person has the condition that says "on land deemed suitable by the chief of police".

bob300w Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 (edited) If a farmer asks you to shoot on his land, there is no legal requirement for you or the farmer to notify the police and get it cleared for firearms not to sure about this. what if a person has the condition that says "on land deemed suitable by the chief of police". Yes, in this instance you are correct, it would have to be approved (or deemed suitable). Does your ticket have this condition on? Mine (fortunatly) doesn't.
