Hi all

I had a visit from the police today saying that there has been several incidents of cats being shot with an air rifle and he thinks I am the one responsible, he asked me if I shot my rifle in my garden and I told him I did,he said he did not want me to shoot my gun in the garden any more and he had the pellets that were removed from the cats,If I continue to shoot in my garden and he gets a complaint he would come with a warrant and seize my gun to see if he could match the pellets from injured cats to my gun.I told him to take the gun there and then as I have nothing to hide, he refused and said he does not want to go down that road yet.After I told him I do some pest control work on some local farms he said I should apply for a fac to get a rimfire rifle!! The main thing that bothers me is i use to really enjoy plinking in my back garden with my son and now cannot do so for fear of these threats of "seizure of guns"

best wishes
