And the relevant section which states...'Anyone can use a hunting and target shooting rifle or shotgun without a licence if they are under the immediate supervision of a licence holder. ‘Immediate supervision’ means the licensed person is within reach and can control the firearm. The supervisor must not be using another firearm at the same time.'


Its not a case of them not reading from the same page from the same book, they aren't even in the same fucking library!!! No wonder the firearms licensing procedure is such a mess.

Well aware of that, The Farming show got him on to tidy a few details up, this is what the end result is, left hand doesn't know what the right hands doing.

Hopefully someone recorded the interview as it would possibly make a good defense if the constables/police who are teaming up with wildlife rangers on opening weekend decide to follow their own website advice and start enforcing what they believe is correct.......

Ok question. Assuming you have a current FAL I always thought and had been told you had 7 days to present your licence at the local cop shop if you did not have it on you at the time. As this changed?

Not correct. Forget the reference , but you MUST have your FAL on you, when shooting or in possession of a firearm. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe one thing less to cram in my wallet.
