idiot neighbour

[micky2]

thanks for all the replies people. im not going to report the bloke for it, but i have told him that if i see him out front with his rifle any more i will report him, and i mean it.



my partner has spoken to the lady next door, shes not happy seeing the birds shot either. and to be honest, i dont expect anyone else in the street is either.
i cant imagine why you think i should apologise to some idiot who fired a gun into my garden Turnup?

I think you are taking the right approach by warning him that you will report him if it happens again. the last thing we airgunners want is for the press to pick up on this. that would do no favours at all. just my view.

It would seem to me by his denial that he probably thought nobody knew it was him shooting the birds.
I would hope that you challenging him has put the frighteners on him and it won't happen again.

Perhaps obtaining one of the pamphlets that explains the GL and airgun law and putting it through his door might help educate him especially if he's an older man who simply might not be aware the law has changed dramatically from his childhood. (unlikely unless he's just came back to airguns after decades away)

Either way, if it happens again the police absolutely do need to be involved.

Im sure your wife will make it known among the neighbours what happened in your own garden,, just in case some of them know you have a rifle and thought perhaps it was you shooting the birds.
