Shotgun Shells

[Alsone 789]

Worth you both applying in the long run Tom

 

Yeah you need to be careful of falling fowl of the landowner rule on shooting without a licence.

 

There appears to be room for interpretation on what constitutes a landowners "agent" but at least some interpretation says that you cannot shoot under another persons certificate eg your dad unless he also owns the land you're shooting over. Having permission isn't enough. There is another interpretation out there that says you can but I wouldn't like to gamble my freedom on which wins over.

 

There's a small line on the law here:

Much safer to both have your own certificate as well plus it will stand you well in the long term if you have one yourself.

 

All you need then is to ensure your father has written permission to shoot on the land and permission to bring a guests.

Land is no problem we own a big farm.He probably wouldnt take it any were else.

While were on the subject, if i got a shotgun when i turn 15 next year, can i carry it with shells to my permission without an adult with me?

 

Yes you can, providing the shotgun is entered on your certificate
