I thought an open certificate meant you decide what is safe, not the local noddy?

There is no legal requirement for written permission for either FAC or Shotgun.

 

How ever if you apply for a shotgun and don’t have permission or know where your local club is chances are the guy doing the visit will deem you unsuitable. They should not be putting restrictions on where you use or what type of shooting you can do with a shotgun.

 

For FAC you must have permission to shoot by being a member of a club or by having land to shoot over. This does not have to be written permission but it helps. Your land will have to be inspected and land owner visited but if you have written permission for a piece of land already cleared then cuts down the time in doing the check (takes long enough as it is).

 

All in all written permission is the best thing to do because when you accidentally upset the farmer he cant claim you don’t have permission and ad poaching to any problems that may have occurred as well as trespass with a fire arm and that includes Scotland!! (It is the only trespass law in Scotland)
