Guest whippet Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Hey there, I saw a link to this site posted on another forum I frequent (www.airgunbbs.com) and decided to have a look. Well this site and it's forum seems to be free of a lot of the PC pander-to-the-antis' bullshit you get on other forums so I signed up. A little about me: I'm 15 and live in South Devon. I was brought up as anti-hunting by my parents, but shook off those misguided beliefs a while ago. I am mainly a shooter (I have an air rifle and one shotgun, soon to be two), but have been ratting with a pack of assorted beater's dogs before (we caught/stomped on/battered 173 the first time). Contrary to the name I do not have or know anything about whippets, so don't come whinging to me with your running-hound problems and questions . I don't even own a dog, but sorely want to . Well I guess that just about sums me up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest whippet Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Oh yeah, i forgot to add that I sometimes go ferreting with my neighbor and also help him to train his gundogs (2 black labs). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 how do you own a shotgun at 15 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest whippet Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 You can own a shotgun from the age of 15, as long as you have a shotgun certificate, which I do. Although the the downside is that I have to receive any guns or ammo as a gift or loan, I can't buy them until I am 17. Which is stupid cos it doesn't take into account people who's parents don't have shotgun certificates, cos it's not like shotguns come cheap so even a mate or mentor is just going to give you one (although my neighbor who got me into shooting could see the problem, see he "gave" me a barely used baikal over and under, and I "dropped" an appropriate amount of money into his hand.

socks 32,253 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 that is correct but if you are under the age of 17 then you must gain the consent of a parent or guardian .... and as you say yours are anti blood .... so why would they countersign your form.

Guest ALEC01 Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 i take it that you dont store your shotgun at your house either? unless someone in your house hold has a certificate and are over 21. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest whippet Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 My parents are anti FOXHUNTING (and I would assume stag and hare coursing). But they are not anti-shooting, my dad used to do .22 rimfire target shooting with me, and uses my air rifle occasionally, so he isn't a stranger to shooting and it was him who signed my certificate. And believe me when I say I am offended to be accused of being an anti. I am ashamed to have ever held those f****d up prejudices. EDIT: They're all kept in a brattonsound cabinet upstairs.

Guest whippet Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 i take it that you dont store your shotgun at your house either? unless someone in your house hold has a certificate and are over 21. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where did you get that from? I don't mean to cause animosity on here, but I challenge you to find that law in here. I know it is easy to dismiss me as a troll or anti, we get them all the time on the airgun forum I am a member of, but I assure you that I am genuine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
