Alex C Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Just a quick one I am off to the Gun Show next week in the hope of picking up a cheap second gun. My question is how do i get it home. If i take my SGC with me and a fist full of cash can i just walk out with one? Do i need to take a slip with me? Or will a stand hold it for me and i can pick it up before i go home? I dont suppose i can just wander round with it out of a bag can i? Any help appreciated Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) A bin liner doesn't offer much protection !! I'd take a gun slip along Edited February 20, 2011 by V8 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeh Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 A bin liner doesn't offer much protection !! I'd take a gun slip along Bin Liner in your Pocket, Gunslip in the car. Be sure to get all the details of the dealers selling to you though, if (though extreamly rare) you need to chase them up, it'll make your life a hell of a lot easier.

HDAV Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Or get them to throw a slip in with the deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex C Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks for the replies chaps. Will probably take a rolled up gun slip down, or see if the Mrs will get it into her handbag ! I am going on the Saturday. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Duncan Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Last time I went, there were tons of people with guns in slips - no-one pays any heed. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 the bin bag will cover the legal need, but a slip will protect your purchase... also easier to carry around. take care leaving it in the car if not out of sight! also make sure you take your sgc and they will complete it there and then. remember, it is more awkward if something goes wrong than if you buy from a local gunshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Some dealers carry plastic bags the shape of a gunslip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) What they said..... I really hope you find a gun that fits you perfectly, for a price that fits your wallet perfectly. Good luck hunting. Edited February 21, 2011 by Bloke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help appreciated Alex Section 19 of the 1968 act doesn't have a problem with an empty shottie in public. Some places or transportation require slips or cases though. If you are referring to Newark then there is secure storage (£5) on site. Check the website. If you actually are likely to buy then take or buy a slip. Remember the table leg in the bag incident?
