And you still haven't learned how to spell Alicante, Lee
Hi Tim, what do you want to know? Whereabouts in Spain are you and what would you like to do?
Best wishes
Nige
Any news on the house sale, or when you'll be over Lee?
Hi NigeOriginally Posted by Nige52
Thanks for your reply, just want to know if I can buy in UK or anywhere else and bring it here . Can I use it on my property to kill vermin and are there any restrictions on what I can buy.
Great if you can help, I have bird poo everywhere!
regards
Tim

Thanks for your reply, need to kill vermin - bird poo everywhere
I am in Altea Costa Blanca North, approx 40 kms from Alicante. Life in Spain is different but good. No regrets. I am running a small B&B and have been open since April, Spanish coming along slowly.

Sorry hijak in progress, i hope you dont mind, 18 ftlb Hmnn so that means my FX is not legal there .
Anyone know about rimfire licences, and if rapid fire pistols are ok? I have an interview there on the 21st, that i think is a pretty much dead cert (madrid as you know nige), but have to find a house etc.

Hi Tim,
I used to live in Torrevieja, so you are only 40 mins from my old place...bad news mate, you get caught shooting Sparrows and you're in for it. In Spain it is against the law to shoot any live quarry with airguns, they are regarded as toys here even though the legal limit is 24 joules (18ft/lb's)
BUT, if you go on the 3 day intensive course run by the Guardia Civil, which is in Spanish and consists of theory and practical tests and you pass, after months waiting, you'll get whatever licence you want, shottie combined with rimmie, rimmie combined with centerfire pistol, in fact, whatever combination you initially apply for, magnum pistol shooting is big here, and loud
Then using your 12 bore, you can blast away to your hearts content at the little darlings..well the Spanish do anyway
In all seriousness, I can't advise you, there's only netting (Or catapults? )
Last thing, you CANNOT send an airgun through the Post Office, the Correos. It's against the law and it will be confiscated when the scanner sees it. But a courier company is fine
Hope this helps
Nige
Thanks Nige
Not what I hoped for, might have to do the course, when my spanish improves!
Catapult here I come, I have a webley catapult not very accurate - or is it me!
and the birds will continue to poo
