Getting A Visit From The Rozzers.


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

As stated above, I don't think you need to be concerned. From my past experience if the Rozzers do appear they will be entitled to inspect your shooter, worst case is that can take it away to be chronoed if offences have been committed, but they do not appear to have been so providing you don't give them reason to suspect anything (ie by hiding the gun which they already know you have) this shouldn't need to happen.

The gents who have given the advice above to take the humble approach are spot on, and it may be worthwhile informing the boys in blue that you will be fitting a moderator and making a soundless backstop / pellet trap. Cos if the complainer doesn't know when you are shooting, he can't be caused alarm (cos you aren't breaking the law, or causing nuisance as its silent) and you will have demonstrated your willingness to make adjustments.

If he then does not match this reasonableness and still uses the Rozzers to visit you, you can give them a demo of your efforts and they may soon run out of patience with Mr complainer if it is shown he is being unreasonable.

Hope that helps

well if your air rifle isnt in the house they cant take it
