It's that man again!

You could point out the potential penalties I suppose, but if he is such an unpleasant character he probably wouldn't take much notice. HOWEVER.....before you next have little GD to stay he has to undertake NOT TO USE IT, OR YOU WILL GO TO THE POLICE. It reminds me of the nasty incident I had a few months ago with neighbour from hell with the Rottweiler. Niot a lot gained, but the thought of the grandchildren even witnessing such a thing is scary.

I am pretty sure he is, Anagram. Makes it more difficult for jeni.

It's the angels oh. No he does his own apologising when he does but he doesn't.
He reckons he's quite legal. The law says only illegal when constituting a nuisance, what's that?
The rifle doesn't need a licence as its under 12psi.
It was a grey squirrel so legally vermin.
The trouble is I don't want to get in inter neighbour disputes. If I tell police I think it's a nuisance and they agree it's a possible custodial sentence and an up to £5000 fine.
This would upset angel and anyway they have no money,which is why I paid for the drain blockage which ended up as being on his property.

I think he's nutty!

... They are Hell's Angels......

It's not the angel's OH is it?

Does the angel apologise, or get her darling husband to apologise when something like this happens?

Hope it wasn't a red squirrel

I agree with Butternut and I would be checking with the Police and Council (sorry if you have already done so). I'm sure it can't be legal to be firing an air rifle in a residential area. It must be a powerful air rifle to kill wildlife. What an unpleasant experience.

Doesn't shooting at 7am in a built-up area constitute a nuisance? I don't know how noisy an air rifle would be.

This is not good, jeni.
He IS creating a nuisance!!
Presumably you have checked the laws, but what do the Council/Police have to say?

His wife dislikes him shooting as well. She didn't know he was doing it. She's bigger than him!
I'm afraid I think that he's lying about where he shot it. If it was a clean shot in his garden, how did it end up the other side of an 6ft hedge in my garden, a distance of about 50ft away!

I think that is very provocative jeni and admire your restraint in just writing here about it. Being slightly hotheaded, I dread to think what I would have done. What a nasty piece of work.
