Billy. Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) You should have no issue with your SGC and so long as you can prove that you need a rifle, by means of land or a target club, you should get that granted too. Only talk about your anxiety if you're asked during your interview - if you did go to the doctors about it, best to put it on your application. Edited July 18, 2011 by Billy.

edr Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hi; Im sixteen and have had a SGC for the past 5 years. You can be granted an SGC and FAC; the guns will have to be gifted to you. Its alright with shotguns but you may have to have a word with a friendly RFD about how to work it if your dad doesn't have any spare slots on his FAC :\ Lincolnshire FLD are ok about juniors and SGC; but got fussy about me having an FAC so I didn't bother, I just borrow however i'm going shooting with's. ATB EdR *Pm me if you've questions about the licensing thing; my dad and I have been through it all and we're in a similar position to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg1 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Thank you edr if I get my fac and I have a 22 slot my dad has 2 22s will I be able to borrow and go out on my own scott You can't 'lend' firearms!! only shotguns for 72 hours!! The only way to do it usually is to borrow someone's who's 'with you' and who has the permission to shoot the land in question. OR... get one of your dads .22's put onto your ticket(your empty slot) and get it cleared for use on the land in question. Then he would need to put in for a 1 for 1 variation to keep his now empty slot and wait WEEKS for his/your ticket to come back!!....... easier to just go with someone else for now. atvb sg1 Edited July 18, 2011 by sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sx3 clay breaker Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 What about if my dad gives me one of the 22 can I go out on my land on my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 You have to be 18 to have a fac,they have just put the age up from 17 and you CANNOT borrow a rifle or use someone else's unless your 18 and over not even in the presence of the rifle owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air rifle law has recently changed to 18 though. atvb sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air rifle law has recently changed to 18 though. atvb sg1 That's what I thought. I remember (I think it was FM) saying that he could no longer go out with his air rifle legally but could with his firearms? Funny as hell that was! Scott - You could sign one of your dads rifles onto your FAC without him giving it up. It is possible for more than one person to be the keeper of the rifle so you could then legally "borrow" it. The only restriction you may find os that if your dad has other guns, you may have to keep "your" rifle in a seperate cabinet which you both have access to, but only he can get to the rest.

sg1 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Yes that I mean if he sign one onto my fac if I get it I will be legal to go out on my own Sx3 As long as the land is cleared by FEO and mentioned on the use of the rifle on your ticket. atvb sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 You can but it will be illegal UNLESS it's transferred onto YOUR FAC!!! atvb sg1 I rather think that's what he means. His Dad gifts him one and enters it on his fac therefore complying with the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
