Can firearms be used on a Public Right of Way?
It is not an offence to shoot across a public right of way, although to do so may amount to a common law nuisance or intimidation, depending on the circumstances. It is, however, an offence to discharge a firearm within 50 feet of the centre of a byway (or other route carrying public vehicular rights) if it injures, interrupts or endangers any user of the route.
