go round, explain your situation, ans ask the politly to turn the volume down.... 8)

call the police. mention the rifle. it will be very noisy very briefly and then you can go to sleep.

10.30 on a saturday night. Is that unreasonable?

No.

(well, the rifle might be)

drunk in charge of a rifle? very unreasonable, I'd say

last time it went on till 2am, just no rifle that time. Just getting some ideas as to what options i might have if it goes on.

earplugs.

Loud music on a Saturday night sounds unhelpful but there's probably not much you can do.

Combining alcohol and firearms sounds more serious.

first option is as ton says - have a polite word, explaining the situation, and that the rifle/beer equation might not be looked upon well by the police.

If they insist on pissing about with the rifle after that - whether it's an air rifle or a real one - while intoxicated, then it's certainly a call to the police.

But remember, they are your neighbours and you're stuck with them...

Likely hood is they can not legally shoot on there land. Even with air weapons the same laws apply. You can not shoot within 15 meters from public highway ( road, foot path etc) They can not shoot outside there own property. So for example if there shooting something outside of there own land if something they could miss and end up with the round straying outside of there own land its illegal. Its illegal to shoot on public land in the UK. If its a real riffle and not a air gun and a real rifle odds are they don't have a open licence and there land is not listed if its so small you can notable hear it. Come to think of it if its a air rifle you can hear inside its probably over powered and illegal anyhow. Any of this the Police can sort relatively quickly.

YES! Antisocial or are we not allowed to have an early night on a Saturday or have a peaceful night in in your own home. 🙄

are we not allowed to have an early night on a Saturday or have a peaceful night in in your own home

No, not really - aren't your neighbours allowed to enjoy themselves early on a Saturday night? 10:30 isn't exactly unreasonable (although 2am possibly is...)

Didn't say anybody was not allowed to enjoy themselves as long as it does not encroach on others, besides firing a .22 rifle is illegal.

We have noisy gits here every warm dry weekend its loud music and drunken swearing until about 4am By the way an air rifle is real.

By the way an air rifle is real.

So not like an air guitar then ? 😕

POLICE call them now.

I had a noisy neighbour. I started calling the police after he tried to intimidate me. Turns out he's a paedophile and about to be sentenced for possessing 5,000 child porn images.

POLICE call them now.

Yes probably best to call the police straight away, and not waste any time by asking them to keep the noise down first.

Tell the old bill to check their computer - whilst you're at it.

On a Saturday night... I'd think midnight was probably a reasonable time, although having been one of the noisy ones on occasion, you just don't tend to notice the time when you are having fun... but in my defence, we've always tried to keep it quiet once we've been asked...

As the the rifle... are you sure it's a .22? I'd imagine that would get quite an interesting response from the police right now after the fella in Cumbria used one earlier this week!

huge difference between a .22 air rifle and a .22 live round rifle; but still...

+1, john d.

Are they owners or tenants? If tenants a word with the landlord usually does the trick - especially if you exaggerate a little.

so what happened then?
