Alsone 789 Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 (edited) yes mick in over 45 yrs of all field sports ive had a few dealings with idiots ,you are on a loser right away if you approach anyone with your gun, put it in the case lock it away then talk , took me 2 years to get my guns back after some idiot said i threatened to blow his head off,, my guns was locked up in the car parked 2 hundred yards away when i approached him ferreting on my farm ,,as for basc forget them they didnt want to know total tossers that outfit , never went out without my video after that episode That's harsh. I was on a pheasant shoot in Derbyshire once when an anti walking his dog decided to have a go at all of us. Can't remember what the wording was but something like" You f.. scum should f...off back to your homes. You shouldn't be out here murdering innocent animals and disturbing the countryside". Probably a bit more but was a long time ago. Anyway a bit of a verbal exchange went off between him and the captain of the shoot, who incidentally handed his gun to someone else whilst talking to him, and then he left. Guy in his 50's actually so not a youngster. Anyway, apparently he went away and phoned the local police and told him that the captain of the shoot had threatened to shoot him. I understand all Derbyshire did was phone the CoS later that day and then send the local bobby around for a chat who accepted his word and the fact that he had witnesses and that was that. Basically just said if he approaches your shoot again, just call us straight away and we'll come round to the shoot and arrest him for Breach of the Peace. Then again I always did like Derbyshire Constabulary. Their firearms department take a common sense approach from what I've seen. Edited October 26, 2013 by Alsone Quote Link to post

sprocker dog 7 Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 According to basc it must be out of sight no mention of safes in the vehicle. Its also the sam on the .gov websiee. Out of site is the bare minimum that is required. Only law I think you've broke is having your gun on the back seat , it should be in a locked box anchored to the car Isn't that only if unattended? Not in NI its not paragraph 4b on your fac,"reasonable cautions must be taken for safe custody of firearms and ammunition". I have been stopped by police whilst carrying firearms in my car and if they are slipped with the bolt and magazine out then no problem. out of sight is best even if you just throw your coat over the slip its in.whether this applies to n Ireland I don't know..

Yeah that was my understanding for the UK. I imagine the NI guys are correct though in that there are probably different rules over there what with the past history of trouble. After all the last thing you want approaching a checkpoint of armed police is a rifle in the car. Its puts you at risk and it puts them at risk of shooting you as they're forced to hold you at gunpoint. So I'd imagine the rules are different over there because of that. Even so declaring a firearm in the car over there even out of sight can't be a pleasant experience. Quote Link to post
GEOFF.223 83 Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Its not bad over here anymore no road side search or random stops anymore. There's still alot of hype from the media and a few bell ends which make it worse than what it is.90 percent of pep here now a days don't give a dam about it. Whats the point in having a rifle in a safe in ur car if someone whats it they will force you to open it. If there is a law here for them to be locked in a cabinet whilst in a vehicle the law is very relaxed about it nor is it in forced. As for being stopped by the police it has yet to happen to me whilst been out shooting, several occasions I have been walking up road with rifle over shoulder or on top of the car on bipod sitting pride of place and the old bill, feds, popo, 5 0, police etc have drove past. This has happened at least 6 times. With no checks or even a second glance According to basc it must be out of sight no mention of safes in the vehicle. Its also the sam on the .gov websiee.
