Ozzy Fudd Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 (edited) From the Act: Section 11 (5) of the Firearms Act 1968 provides that: A person who does not possess a shotgun certificate may borrow a gun from the occupier of private premises, and use it on those premises in the occupier's presence. (Section 57(4) provides that premises shall include land). learn to use the search function, and stop bloody saying no, only the landowner, it only took us half a ******* million threads to work it out - see!!! edited so i dont get arrested Edited July 30, 2009 by babbyc1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqwelchy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 Calm down you lot The only way to get some land to shoot on is to go knocking on doors mate. Theres no easy way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 when you first start shooting it seems impossible to get any land but give it time and get in with the right lot and soon doors start to open and before you know it you will have a few acres under your belt ... Also try and visit local farms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
