1. There's no such thing as a "gun licence".

2. Are the police involved at all?

3. Here's what the law says (the relevant parts of s.30 Firearms Act 1968):

30 Revocation of firearm certificates.

(1) A firearm certificate may be revoked by the chief officer of police for the area in which the holder resides on any of the grounds mentioned in subsections (2) to (5) below.

(2) The certificate may be revoked if the chief officer of police has reason to believe—

(a that the holder is of intemperate habits or unsound mind or is otherwise unfitted to be entrusted with a firearm; or

(b) that the holder can no longer be permitted to have the firearm or ammunition to which the certificate relates in his possession without danger to the public safety or to the peace.

My recommendation? Find out in the first instance whether your neighbour has contacted the police about the matter. If yes, then - assuming that you're a member - contact BASC.

Thanks for the advice

yes the police are involved I spent 12 hours there lol and then 2 firearms officers bought me home at 3.10 in the morning 

luckily this situation has been brewing for the past couple of months and my firearms are at rfd 

The lady next door saw that I was over her dropped kerb by about 12 inches lol and came out the house like a stung wasp and said you can't park there being aggressive to which I politely replied F off whilst walking away

can you lose your gun licence for a public order offence ?

cheers ontoproofer

Hi Andy rv

Do they still shoot at Yoxall on there private range and are they still at Kingsbury ? 

The club I moved to don't shoot at Kingsbury.

Hi Joe

Join another club or at the next committee meeting vote them out of their roles but that's not that easy because you need somebody with lots of spare time on there hands to take over ! lol the dictator must still be in charge hope its not Simon and Kev that's been kicked out 

Is Garlands still open one Sunday a month shoot all day for £20  with Rob ?

Hi, I'm getting plans together to construct a shooting range so I'm doing a little but of market research. 

I plan to have steel animal targets at 300 yards, gongs at 500 and 700. Paper targets/gongs at 100 for group testing and zeroing. Smaller animal targets at 50 for rimfires only 

All shooting from benches or prone under a covered position. 

Would the cater for most peoples needs? I'm open to other suggestions 

Thanks

I would speak to Marc Gardner at Gardners guns he's set up the top 2 shooting ranges in the uk 

Ive noticed a lot of the new alarm systems aren't hardwired and it makes you wonder if they knock out the bt cable the wifi alarm system is useless, nobody pays any attention to an alarm going off. If the police can't be bothered to turn up monitored alarms are a waste of money and verisure alarms send there own security staff if the alarm is triggered but you can see them driving straight past if they saw firearms coming out of the property

You are asking a question that cannot be answered as is.

You would need to be MUCH more explicit about your budget, expectations and a huge  range of other detail to get anything like useful feedback.

sorry lol its for trying to hit metal targets at the mile

which 338 Lapua Magnum to buy and how much more do you need to spend to be really accurate ?

Last time I had a visit from the FEO he suggested I should consider an alarm. I said "Yes, I had considered it, but rejected the idea as I thought it might just advertise that I had something worth stealing". I also told him that for the same reason i didn't display shooting association car stickers, or have a number plate such as 'R1FLE'. He was satisfied with my response.

It always makes me laugh when somebody drives past with reg number ...GUN and makes me wonder if they get followed a lot 🤔

I'm on level 3.

Daft really as the Police 'target' time to respond is 20 minutes!

Our club alarm went off and they couldn't be bothered to respond at all

lol im possibly on level 1

20 minutes is not really a rapid response I could be in 3 other counties in that time

I've got 4 rifles and 3 shotguns and they've just renewed my ticket and given me 2 more rifles the feo asked if the alarm was monitored which I said no and he didn't say anything more about it !

Is it worth investing in a monitored alarm system for extra firearm security ?

You could try either 69 gr ggg with the Sierra bullet or the Hornady 75 gr eld match which is brilliant but not cheap 😁

Hi Popsbengo Thank you.

Does anybody know if marc's range is open or when its opening ?

75grain hornady eld's can hit the 1000 yard at eskdalemuir 

.223 Nigel Benn

45/70 Mike Tyson

😂 that's classy 👍

If your rifle caliber was a person who would it be lol

i.e 338 lm Ray Winston

50% discount for existing customers sounds pretty good to me ! 🤣

Lol I've got the wrong beer its Carlsberg I was thinking of 😱😭

It would have been designed by Marc. Having just spent the day at Gardners eskdalemuir training range it simply is the best range in the country 😀
