I know 2 people that did in S. Yorks but only because they were deer stalking in Scotland. I haven't known anyone else get it open.

While your ticket is still "closed" you have to inform the cops of each bit of land you will shoot on. Only one will go on your FAC though. Once it's an open ticket, you can shoot wherever you have permission.

No you don't, if your ticket says any land deemed suitable by the chief constable of that area, it means so long as you have permission, and the land is passed you can shoot on it, hope this helps.

 

 

I see where you are both coming from, but who tells you the land is cleared, the bloke down the pub, the farmer, your friends mate...simple fact is in the majority of cases you will want to check with the Police to make sure it has been cleared!

That's exactly it mate, the man with a closed ticket will have to phone and ask the firearms dept and ask, as all land that is passed is on the computer so a quick call SHOULD reveal what calibre the land is passed up to.

Yes that is because as a general rule my understanding is in Scotland the police do not pass land for a certain calibre as is the case here, so in order for someone licensed by English police to shoot on ground there, they would have to have an open ticket, or be in contravention of the terms/conditions of their fac.

Must admit I'd want faxed comfirmation from the Firearms Dept., otherwise its your word against there's if they later deny the conversation.

So how would the shooter know if the land was cleared without calling the cops? And if it wasn't, they'd need to inspect it.

I had five permissions for air rifles, when i applied for mine and got cleared for .22lr and HMR by producing google maps at my interview. I got another permission, which I wanted cleared for HMR and the FO met me at the land, walked round chatting, then said don't bother me again, apply for your open license, which I got after two years of FAC.

They would not, is the simple answer to that, if you don't have an open ticket, then it is your responsibility to ensure the ground you are on is passed for the calibre you are using, simple as that, so if you choose to take the word of the landowner/farmer/keeper whatever is up to you, but the failsafe way is to ring the police and check with them.
