Thread: Drillings/combination guns

No point in asking DoC - they have no bloody idea! My mate went through this using a 7x57/12g, hunted with it a bit on Public Conservation Land, got spoken to on a couple of occasions by a very enthusiastic DoC dickhead, told he wasn't allowed to use it. He went straight back to Plod, asked him, he said it is classed as a rifle [centrefire] so therefore can be used anywhere it is legal to use a rifle, just because it has a 12g barrel attached to it, does not make it a shotgun. And if a DoC person, for want of a better term, approached you, Im pretty sure they would have no bloody idea what you were holding in your hand. They certainly cant take it off you, they dont have the jurisdiction, it needs to be Plod. They certainly dont have the right to touch it or look at it cos they may not have a firearms license. And if you have no shotgun ammo in it, they cant do anything.
