Deker 3,478 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I always make a point of informing the police whenever I am shooting an area I may be seen by Joe Public. This does not mean all shoots by any means. It's not as bad as you think and the Police know me well, a URN can last 3 months...so make sure you tell them you will be shooting the site for 3 months, saves calling them every time you go...at the end of the 3 months just call them again and renew it for 3 months. Also remember ONE URN can cover ALL your sites, so tell them everywhere you shoot...easy really.....when you renew they will still have all your details on file so it's much quicker and easier Around 3 years back I had the Police Helicopter hovering what seemed about 50 feet over my head for what seemed like hours (actually about 12 minutes), and a multicoloured Range Rover bowled up with all the guys, I was 100% in the right, but trust me I was still messing my pants thinking some twat is going to come out of the undergrowth in a minute with a gun and tell me to assume the position. Something obviously connected behind the scenes as they all disappeared simultaneously, don't mind telling you it still left me nervous for the rest of the shoot! But nowhere near as nervous as I would have been face down in the mud with an MP5 in my back!!! Quote Link to post
celticwar 1 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 whats a urn ?????????? just no im being a div its the sun i swear Quote Link to post
Deker 3,478 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 whats a urn ??????????just no im being a div its the sun i swear When you make a report such as ...."I'm going to be shooting rabbit on Freds land tonight for the purpose of vermin control.........." the Police, (actually, usually, a civilian on the phone) will issue you with a report number. This will be something like URN275/27.7.08 The URN is..... Unique Reference Number Quote Link to post

There's a long string from a guy on airgunbbs who was arrested and gun confiscated. He was reported by a trespasser for shooting songbirds. he wasn't and was on land with permisiion. Many contributors recommended contacting BASC but he's not a member. Still not resolved. Worth watching to see the outcome. Quote Link to post
3jackwhite3 2 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 theres also another thread on airgun bbs about the armed response, i think the world is going even crazyer. Quote Link to post
