He was talking bollocks then. If you kill ANYTHING with a bow or crossbow in the UK you're breaking the law; bow-hunting is not legal. I'm also pretty sure that the only things you're allowed to kill with an air rifle are recognised pest species.

Constantly.

Thankfully prostitutes are easier to catch and aren't missed as much.

Still legal to shoot a Welshman in Chester after 10pm with a bow and arrow though, fucking racists!

You can legally shoot Scotsmen with a bow and arrow in the cathedral close in Winchester. I always kept my mouth well shut when walking around that area.

Probably, you had to know the man. To give you an indication of his mental state he was shagging a cleaner at the training centre, her nickname was cyclops.

As the owner of compound bows for 25 years I know that.

I never did meet a member of the public that had terminated a neighbours cat and I was town based and never dealt with one pet incident. However, though I am not sure, I do believe if the cat is feral you can legitimately terminate it - a bit like allegedly happened to some of the wildcats in Lisburn Garrison that were shredding the insualtion of the piped steam heat.

RSM's like cats. Particularly if they think they are getting rabbit.

What's racist about vermin control?

I just want to stop someone's cat shitting in my garden, but in a fun and interactive way. If they were rats or pigeons I'd consider the humane approach.

Buy a big jar of black pepper and sprinkle it round where the cat likes to shit. He'll lay one more turd, have a sniff at it (as they do) then run away sneezing and find himself a new karzi. More kinetic solutions are inherently dangerous. For example if I found out that someone had shot my cat with a BB gun I'd be seriously tempted to return the favour with a rubber-tipped arrow. Pet owners get quite touchy about things like that.

There are also laws about discharging an air weapon within a certain distance from a public path and about pellets bbs etc. going in other people’s gardens. Really really look into before using your airguns in your garden to be on the safe side, I have the tonfoglio and a nice gsg 92 as well as full powers air rifles for hunting and I don’t even like plinking in my garden. I’m looking to get my firearms certificate when I buy my house and can put in a cabinet so I'm not risking the police round for a stray pellet hitting an old duffers bird bath and causing her "distress".
