lowlander Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 sorry for sounding stupid but what do you mean by an unlimited cetificate lowlander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 ahhh yes, of course we dont have the same system as my other half (england) an unlimited cert enables you to shoot game whereas a limited cert only enables you to shoot corvids and the like, you can shoot game with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 sorry for sounding stupid but what do you mean by an unlimited cetificate lowlander Irish gun laws are far more strict than ours in the UK.I just did some digging on the net and if i've worked this out right-'unlimited' means you can possess an unrestricted pump or semiauto and are allowed maximum of 100 cartridges instead of 25 for land use (vermin control for example).Good job i live in the UK cos i've got more three times that amount ontop of my wardrobe! Congratulations on getting your certificate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogfox Posted October 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Why the Irish authorities won't allow air rifles is beyond me Well done on getting your ticket dogfox LB thanks for the congrats mate, you are allowed air rifles, but solely for target purposes, my mate has a lovely .177, that said though it doesnt stop him nabbing the odd crow with it!
