They are considered an offensive weapon so you must have reason to have it / use it etc but pest control and target practice cover that so safe use and your neighbor cant do anything about it whilst you wait for your firearms licence.

While that is a solution of sorts its a pretty shitty solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

100% - but if OP is thinking of getting a licence he's likey 12 - 18 months from getting one... 9801 in que or some such. In the mean time the crossbow might be a start and it would potentially desensitize the guy next door a little bit too - I would still be applying for my licence.

I'm waiting for my renewal so will be bow hunting this roar... suggested cross bow in this instance for the shorter learning curve
