Thank you for your posts.
Firstly, Eeyore, I understand what you are saying although I do not like it.
This guy obviously wanted to show me he was boss and probably discharged the firearm in the air whist the beam was on my face. Without witnesses and actually being able to see anything it is difficult to prove. However, I did want to make maximum fuss about this but is it right if he is not formally charged nothing will go on record for when he applies for a licence.?That is what I wanted to achieve. According to the police, he was worried he may not get a licence as he was applying for a different sort of gun.
As I am new to this Forum and from your comments, it looks as though you have been in long debates about hunting. However anyone can see that this sort of behaviour does not help people to understand the character behind the gun.
As for silencing the gun, I had thought of that but that would make matters worse. Can't win can we?

Thank you for your comment. Yes I was amazed. Look up the gun laws of this country and they are a farce. It is about 50 feet near to a footpath that someone can shoot. Anyone can own a shotgun, there is no minimum age, the youngest person in this country is 13, shall I go on?!!!
When this incident went on I was on a public footpath which I have walked for 25 years and do you know what the police said?
I "should make a health and safety risk assessment "before i set off"!!!!!
This was a revised comment after I pulled him up on the first which implied that I should not walk a public footpath at night! One of the reasons given was "in case there was a bull in the field."This was a general comment to all public footpaths in this country.
Rearrange the words , head, brick wall, bang!

Thank you also. You have given me some very good pointers which I had not thought of especially the rights of way people. I had thought of contacting the Rambler's Association as they must have a legal team but i will have to join first I suppose.
I need to make maximum fuss if nothing else.
Please all sign my petition, ( I know Eeyore won't, the one in Winnie The Pooh would have!) But I do appreciate your comments Eeyore.
