First you need a gun license then you need a safe etc.Like a viable reason to have the gun.

No I don't want to use the gun once the bullets are gone, I just want to know if the neighbors here a few shoots and the garda come that they cant do anything as its my land

What you are saying/planning to do is ILLEGAL.

If the Gardai come and catch you, on your own land or not, you are guilty of:

• Possession of an unlicensed firearm.
• Possession of ammunition without a valid lincese.
• Discharging an unlicensed firearm.
• Storage of an unlicensed firearm.
• Public endangerment (possibly as you obviously have no lincese therefore have not completed a safety course).

Then the person that gave you the gun is also guilty of:

• Supplying an unlicensed person with a firearm.
• Supplying an unlicensed person with ammunition.

As we do not allow illegal activities to be spoken of or condoned here i am closing this thread with a strong warning for you to do one of the following:

1. Get the firearm to a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD) and have it stored there until you get a license.
2. Return the firearm to the original owner if you do not intend to license it.
3. Do not fire the gun anywhere.
