There is a kind of interview for the FAC process.  But its only to check you have a bit of savvy with firearms.  Mine, all the enquiry officer asked me was how would I tell the difference between 20g and 12g cartridges!! It was a joke!!

I was a gamekeeper for 5 years, and twice there were poachers, once I walked out the trees and there was a lad in an Astra with his .22RF out the window after our Pheasants, his aim was right at me, but he was zoomed so far in at his target he couldnt see me in his sight picture!!  I nearly poo'd myself when he pulled the trigger, I shouted, his mate floored it and they were never seen again,  I took the reg number, phoned the police and they didnt seem interested, even though they were shooting from a public road towards me!!

What the hell is wrong with using a Uzi 9mm, an AK 47 and better still a ex German army 88mm anti aircraft gun to cull rabbits


Or Chavs...Or Premiership footballers.....(Is there a difference?)

i have had a license for two years now, and i generally only got my shotgun license for vermin in our field.
i beat on a shoot every second saturday and thouroughly enjoy it and the atmosphere is good.
however it does worry me that people are getting licences for extremely powerful rifles (303's, 243's) where bullet can go for miles  :shock: :?

this was a problem that was foreseen by a lot of country cops. These idiots mentioned in the other posts will be using the excuse "I need one for vermin control now that fox hunting has been banned"

I use a 20 year old air rifle for rabbits does the job and they taste wonderful  :dance:

I have been thinking of getting a shotgun ticket so I can sort a mates rabbit problem on his farm 100 ish acres on the side of snowdon. He doesn't like killing things even for food  :lol: :lol:

His son has to load the sheep when they go off to to the market .. :lol: :lol:
