Lewdan 17 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 A little over a year ago i added a .22 hornet to my armoury, on my initial application i explained to my fao that it would be mainly used for foxes, he had no problem with this, and added it to my ticket still under use as Vermin Control ( thus i assume fox is regarded as Vermin ) Anyway at least 90% of my permission is outside my issuing authorities area, soooooooo!! if i am ever in a position where i have to produce my ticket to authorities on one of my permissions or more likely on the way home from a permission, what would happen if that area does not concider fox as vermin Do you think it would be wise to ask my fao include "FOX " seperately on my ticket Cheers THANKS FOR THE INFO GUYS Keith Quote Link to post
Fidgety 8 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Not likely to be a prosecution, more a removal of FAC ............. which nobody would want to admit. Quote Link to post

Tell you for free, if they took my FAC for something like that, I'd see them in court PDQ! Good point! But only if your ticket said "vermin" which is challengeable. .22rf that is, hornet be ok.

Hornet would only be OK if conditioned for fox. This is the thing - it matters not a jot what calibre you use for the job, it's the wording on the ticket that counts, and that's the whole pointlessness of it all Quote Link to post
