To update anyone interested, I received a phone call today from the landowner I shot at to say a Police arms person had been over to talk to them and I had to call him.
So I called him.
He said that he wasn't going to take any further action, that he didn't want to give a warning or anything, just wanted to give some mediation.
He had talked to the lady who had complained, another person who the lady claimed had complained, and the landowner.
Basically just said, in the future be best not too shoot in the same place where I did, and to notify the neighbour when I was going to be shooting in the future.
It's kind of a good result, but I'm still a bit annoyed.
Annoyed that now even if I want to go out for a walk for 5 or 10 mins, might be miles away from the neighbours land, I'll have to ring her. And if I don't she will probab;y complain and I'll be in proper shit next time.
I can always use my 22 with a silencer, but the place I used to shoot at some steel targets which is miles away from her, I like to use high velocity cause it's cheap, but can't be arsed trying to ring her when I want to do that. I would just put a silencer on my 17hmr, but then it still wont be silent and she might complain again.
Now calling her wouldn't be a problem usually, but the place I shoot has not very much land and is only just down the road so it used to easily pop over for 10-15mins to do some shooting. But now it will be not so easy, only because she has some stupid issue with the land owner and decided to drop me in it.
I'm also annoyed at the fact that if this now stays on my record, if I ever wanted to get my E cat, it may come up, or might count against me if something else comes up, when really the whole issue was over pretty much nothing.
