Why,you after one Geordie?
No mate I have one but my mate near frome has asked for one and has been told no we don't issue them by Avon and Somerset FLD
Could he not just use a .410 or .22 r/f if they,re are refusing to issue pistol licences .2 people i know say as long as you get "humane"dispatch as a condition its far easier than the hoops to jump through for a pistol

As it happens they won't even condition his rifles for humane despatch.But that is not the point the law says it is legal for him to have a section 5 for humane despatch
If they won't condition his rifles for humane dispatch it must be for a very good reason and it certainly wouldn't be right to allow the use of a pistol.
Is he an inexperienced shooter?
Then perhaps they won't condition his rifles for humane dispatch because they consider that there are already enough people on call and carrying out this function in the area should the need arise. I know of one at least one in the Frome area and incidentally he has a pistol for HD.
Even without it specifically mentioned on his certificate this still shouldn't prevent him from dispatching a deer by any humane way possible within the law should it?????
Correction I know of two but the one is also a slaughterman.
How many humane dispatches has he had to do over the last year or two? Could be that he cannot show good reason

Ex Sniper from the Rifles might be his stumbling block.
I've met a few ex snipers and after listening to some of their stories I wouldn't trust some of them with a water pistol
It's the same as some of them that quote being ex army, it doesn't always follow that they are safe in a UK/civilian environment, some only do their PWT once a year and the only other time they have a firearm is when they are on guard or pay escort !!
There were crates and crates of US dollars shipped out to Iraq, I think it was used as 'Smoothies' perhaps I should have said money escort or ammo escort in foreign landspay escort.
showing your age there, it's been into bank account since about the time hancocks half hour was on the telly!
