  1. access to the loft is easy, and have full flooring and lighting. Query about the heat though? my current location is very cold even though inside the house, is this a major issue?
  2. As i may need to upgrade by cab, can these be installed in a loft, bolted to the main brick wall inbetween houses? The loft is alarmed with pir's as is the house.
  3. your have to get a bigger cabinet then. he wont grant you them inless you have the right size cabinet to keep them all in Re the cabinet, i have a 3 gun cabinet, but will fit 4 guns easily. Does this count?
  4. im assuming if you get granted 3, you dont have to go and buy 3? i only have a 3 gun cabinet at the moment, and 2 spaces are taken by SGs
  5. Hi, Thanks for your help, No the land hasent been passed, and i understand the complications the houses and path may cause. I know it probably makes no difference, but the shooting is mainly to the north end anyways due to the denser hedgerows and woods. thanks
  6. Morning, I am now applying for my first FAC, and am wondering if its acceptable to apply for both .22 and .17HMR? I believe i have reason for both as the land i have rights on is approx 750m x 1000m. I want to use the .22 for close rabbit/vermin, and the .17HMR for longer range rabbit, and fox. I will talk to my FEO tomorrow re using .17HMR for fox, but I believe in Leicestershire this is accepted. I have enclosed a quick picture below of the ground i can shoot. (blue dashed line is footpath) thanks
  7. Thanks again for the help. Its a very seldom used path, but nonetheless, its still there. I intend to do more lamping than anything in any case, but ill be sure to let the FEO know my intentions. Having the farmer give me a copy of the RPA plans sure is an asset, as it shows eveything in great detail. I shall send a copy of this in when i apply. Thanks again
  8. Can't see it as being a problem as long as you are safe. The only thing in law regarding shooting and rights of way is that you can't discharge a firearm within 50 feet of the centre of a highway if doing so causes any distress or interruption to a user of the highway. However, "highway" in this sense relates to a right of way with a carriageway so a footpath or bridleway doesn't count. I think there's a bit about using a firarm to cause damage to a highway or a fixture on the highway too. J. Thats what i thought, but wasent really sure. Thanks for the help
  9. Morning everybody. After having a SGC for 3 years now, I am in the throws of applying for my FAC, (.22lr) and have been granted written permission from a farmer to control vermin on one of his 120 acre plots. Nicely remote, many bordering fields and dense woodland surrounding. The only thing i wanted to ask was whether having a footpath running through a small corner of the land would be an issue? The land isnt currently registered, and after speaking to the local FEO, obviously he would need to inspect.Any advise id greaty appreciated.Dan
