Careful, there is no such thing as free land.

Someone will own it. Best you check it out on the land registry site before you start shooting.

what the website called

in a word no.

you cant discharge a weapon in a public place and you need permission from the landowner /his agent or holder of the shooting rights to shoot on private land.

Some one near me has been done twice for that, tresspassing with a firearm. He recieved £2000 in fines and a confiscated rifle, then he got 12 months in prison.

If the land is not registered with anyone, its public and in that case the wabbits are safe. :(

Got to be real careful there pal...try and find out through the usual channels...local authority etc, cause if you don't and the land does belong to someone or there is a public right of way you may be on a sticky wicket......after all if you are on land of this nature with gun in hand and the cozzers catch you it can be classed as armed trespass!!...then you are in a world of shite....be careful pal...

im affraid so..........an air rifle in the eyes of the law is a firearm and as mentioned without permission is plain stupidity.

 

also are the rabbits in question a pest?????.......or is it just shooting for shhotings sake???

 

time to check up on the general licence and air rifle laws guys !!!!!!!!!!

 

not directed at anyone at all...............but OUR sport needs protecting not endangering

 

cheers
