Airgun law UK - what you can shoot in your garden 

You have forgotten to include TV licence inspectors in the "NOT allowed to shoot!"

Burglars are a nice rewarding target to hit!😎

Do Jahova Witnesses come under vermin?

what happens if the dove is doing a bloody good impression of a woody or identifies as one under current trends

"This is a crop!" Best line I've heard this week! Info excellent, banter even better. Thanks.

Not being allowed to shoot Woodpigeon for the pot seems bizarre.

All the information you could ever need nice work!

Thanks very informative and no messing about straight to the point. Thanks again. 👍👍👍👍

Thanks so much. Been looking for a list like this

NO MESSING, RIGHT TO THE POINT WITHOUT WOFFLING -I subbed ;-)

Helpful AND fast, a hard video to find on RU-vid

Herring gulls should be on the list of birds you can shoot lol

Thank you. For the information.

In scotland u have to have a certifcate for a 12 lb air rifle.also if the pheasants on ur land the gamekeeper can take a running jump

It’s like there’s someone in an office trying as hard as possible to be difficult about things!

Clear as mud. Thank you

What about using a sawn-off machete ? I like to get up close.

Thank you

You make it seem that if you live in that house you can shoot the mentioned pests etc, however I must point out that if you live in rented property you must obtain the property owners permission first. The same applies if you whish to own either air rifles or shotguns or section 1 firearms on the property without shooting any of them on the property. Yes it sucks but that's the law. That's because they own the property you just live there !!!

That differs from the BASC GL list which has Jackdaws and Monk Parakeets on the English list for specific reasons.

Whoever sat down and made those laws want shooting , they've no right making these rules thinking they're God. Having said that , what about Cats ?? now that I am in total agreeance .

In Scotland can I use my air rifle to plink at targets like bake bean cans for instance, my garden is fully enclosed, what about neighbours, can they complain 🤔

Can you do a review of the Crosman Copperhead 900 .177 rifle?

Technically you can shot anything you want just don't get caught 🤣🤣🤣

So just to confirm, am I allowed to shoot feral pigeon in my back garden?

Starling are going extinct Why would you shoot a Jay rare af .

Wow that was a lot to take in 😂 so is there no limit on the size of the garden just as long as you have a safe backstop ?

Am I allowed to shoot pigeons in my garden which are nesting under our solar panels? We have a sparrow hawk decoy in the garden which doesn’t seem to work that well. Thank you.

Can i quick scope them from my window? What about 360 jump trick shot from the top floor

This video is 2 years old: is it still up to date?

Politicians

Woodpigeon lovely

are you still allowed to hunt with slingshot?

Can I shoot targets in my garden in a built up area with safety in mind👍

I was given American Gamo Black Night break back 1.77 air rifle, it is stamped 1100fps is this a legal rifle in the UK?

can you shoot thieving bar stewards under certain conditions like self defence ?

So can I shoot magpies and crows that are eating the songbirds in my garden?

I'm in N.I. and we are pestered by starlings. They eat all the food we put out for other birds including blackbirds and goldfinches. I certainly don't like killing anything but the number of starlings makes it necessary.

P.S.... I’ve just acquired a catapult (actually, I dismembered a local tree, and trashed an inner tube that was lurking in my shed), and have just scraped my shingle driveway for ammo!... anybody know where I can buy me a Rambo headwrap???

1:45 can you shoot them without having the need to say they’re damaging crops?

What about a Larsen trap, I have an uneducated niebour who feeds the Jackdaws close by.

Do you need a license in Scotland to own a air gun ?

What about Moles? My other half had a neighbour in rural Herefordshire who possessed a 12 bore. He had a mole problem and used to give the furry mammals both barrells if a hill started to appear. He also had a mouse problem but his wife drew the line when he decided to give one, walking along his bedroom curtain pole, the same treatment. What a character! 😂

You ca get a licence for a 12 bore shotgun in england

any thing that moves

Is it squirel are pest?

why would somebody want to shoot any birds in a garden?

Some people shoot wild birds at home? It’s obviously different for a farmer out in fields - he has a living to make. But what (sick) kick do they get from destroying wildlife in a garden?

Where are all starlings

my next door niebour complaind about me shooting pigeous in my garden , had permission of landlord .'police came and said as the garden was inclosed it was ok . they moaned again as police came again and said i could shot targets but not birds as i would need a agricultal license . how do i stand ?

Yet you can't shoot seagulls...

I believe is best not to shot any feed them instead

This is incorrect. You can only shoot an Indian Ring Necked Parakeet if you first establish that the bird is not ringed. Ringed birds are either escaped pets or free fliers and remain the property of their owners.

In Wales you cannot shoot corvids, wood pigeons or collared doves.

Thanks didn't want to get nicked. Lol

So, with only sub 12ft\lbs polititions are off of the menu then!??.

im very glad i live in the us the UK kinda sucks with the laws

...now... it would be awesome... if you could turn that video into a rap song...that would be rolling on the floor funny and then play it at super high volume in front of Parliament...

That was ace,,, You can,,,, but not in Ireland,,, you can,,, but not in England....x

Is ah fox considered ah pest? 😅

O the glories of UK devolution...

Can you legally shoot a airpistol in your flat down the hall.

You are not allowed to shoot in your back garden in Scotland, not even target shooting.

no mention of elephants ?

Personally I can’t bring myself to shoot a bird but for the squirrels it’s fair game

I used to buy all the Airgun magazines...45 years ago. I got very "wound up" as a young man reading all about shooting squirrels, rats, birds, rabbits, etc. But now, as a 61 year old man, I regret it bitterly. I loved the "hunt", and the silent tracking of quarry... The technicalities, and craftsmanship of my guns (Weirauch HW35 Export)... The challenge of target-hitting... But I deeply regret the taking of life. Just for..."sport". As my mortality gets ever more vivid, and my own fragility becomes ever obvious to me, as the years go by, I think... "What RIGHT...did I HAVE ... ...to take the life of another sentient being?" Answer: None. I had NO right. Please think about that before storming off into the dark Woods, gun in hand, as I once did, as a young and foolish man 😥😔

We didn't get any messages, and captain blackadder definitely didn't shoot this delicious, plump-breasted pigeon.

So am I able to shoot pigeons/magpies in my back garden legally? They are really pi**ing me off crapping everywhere and also eating my cherries in the summer!

Can you shoot sea gulls?

Not being allowed to shoot wood pigeons for food is INSANE.

Air rifles aren't worth it if you live in a city like london birmingham etc where you garden is small and you have neighbours behind your garden and on both sides..

I've never seen a wild parakeet in england

In Greece hunting with airguns is banned for everyone

Problem is in the Uk you only need a neighbour over looking your garden who wants to make you life a misery he just phones the Police and you have armed Police at the door.

From from what I recall your not allowed to shoot within 50 yards of a dwelling.. So for most your not allowed to shoot in your back garden.. That's a very important detail to miss out.. This gives the impression that it's OK to shoot in your backyard.. Most people have narrow adjoining gardens where children are often playing.. Shooting an air-rifle so close to other peoples property is an accident waiting to happen..

Sounds like Charlie Jacoby has a bus to catch and needs to get cracking . . .

Who cares what your local game keeper thinks, I've got a tasty pheasant on my plate so no complaints here

All very well till a bird loving neighbour says they just happen to 'find' a pellet in their garden and report it to the POLICE. Then what?

Slow down a bit!

Can you say that again cant understand half of what your saying

I thought you couldnt even shoot a air rifle in a garden

So wait.. you can shoot a wood pigeon but cant cook and eat it? Why?

Add shooting burglar to the list👍👍

Squirrels avoid my garden now.

Sorry if wrong but I thought you couldn't shoot an airgun within 25 yards of a built up area is this a false statement?

You allow to shoot anything just don't tell anyone

To quick

How about yourself Charlie?

How about mice??

That was too rushed, especially as the old bill could be knocking on your door.

My neighbour has shot 20 grey squirrels this year in his garden, keep trying to persuade him to try the pigeons next !

May I suggest individuals who feel the need to shoot creatures for 'fun' may wish to consider turning their guns on themselves? I won't object to that.

What about the neighbours cat?

it would break my heart shooting any bird :/

Chris Packham would be a prime target!!

The only thing I don’t like is rats

Parliament have good and bad but the bad win more

don't shoot squirels!😊

WHERE YOU A RABBIT IN YOUR PREVIOUS LIFE? LOOK FAMILIAR🐰🐰🐰🐰

I like the idea of being able to protect my country from increasingly corrupt government.
