    I think drinking alcohol and using firearms would fall within you been Not a "fit and proper person"

    You can lose your licence for been involved in a domestic where no violence has occurred but the Police think there might, they will revoke the licence.

    Now the fire water of Polish Star and Red Horse... that was brutal. Almost as brutal as the sugar cane alcohol from Boma out east by the Ethiopian border... All we had after the food ran out when the helo wouldn't pick us up, haha

    While I wish I could say I have never had a dram when guns are out, I do think that drinking before the guns are away shows a certain level below "fit and proper" so people should pay a penalty for it. If that should be not being able to renew their licence is another matter-should be case by case and as the story has been told in this thread I imagine a judge throwing it out very fast if the police were challenged on it.

    FAL Renewal Denied

    what a load of bollocks. at best a ranger can only assume somebody is drinking unless he has an enforceable way of assessing it (ie breath testing device) which anyway he would not have any legal jurisdiction to use in that situation
    so failing to get your license renewed on the back of 'reported assumed drinking' is BS in my book and agree a lawyer would/should be able to kick it to touch. i hope so anyway!
    i'm not saying i condone drinking with firearms but the assumption aspect is just a case of getting over-policed again

    And yet they have the power to confiscate guns, and vehicles, or action the confiscation of.
    If drinking was plainly obvious, I'm guessing the police would be called.
    I just found it feasible that notes could be put on your file, which in due course, could cause issues

    that is all legislated law, here we are talking about reporting alleged drinking without police involvement. sure that info could be put on file i can understand that, but to deny an FAL without proof or investigation is a tough or questionably valid card to pull

    I wouldn't have a problem with being breath tested while in charge of a fire arm or supervising someone with one

    Sensible drinking doesn't rattle me at all, being under the influence and showing it, gets me nervous. We have lunch at the local pub on Opening Day and I have a beer with that. We have a cop with us and he keeps an eye on us. N.b don't do Ranging after lunch.

    Thanks. Pretty Interesting.
    I never knew about them. I have questions.
    I wouldn't want to piss any farmers off. Would you be likely to be stopped by an angry man?
    Is the correct etiquette to talk to someone at farm first?
    Or just go ahead?
    Do people actually use these roads for hunting access?
