TJ91 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thinkng of goin away on a little shooting trip soon and wanting to borrow my uncles shotgun... I know I can borrow for 72 hours...does this have to be filled in on my cert and police informed or do I jus take the gun and return it within the 72hours without informing any1 or filling anything in? Any advice apreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) No need to do anything if you have it for less than 72 hours, however if you have it for any longer it needs to go on your cert and the usual process that follows Edited October 5, 2011 by M.I.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 So for more than 72hours he writes it on my cert as 'lent' then we send the form to the police.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Who knows when you first borrowed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ91 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 If we do that, do I have to sign it back over to him when I get back although its already on his cert? Or jus inform police I have returned it!? Who knows when you first borrowed it I aren't stupid enough to risk losing my cert! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBLATCH Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 as mentioned does not need to go on cert for less than 72hrs, however i would get a covering letter just in case your'e stopped in the process and the gun not on your ticket.

TJ91 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Would it be worth putting on my cert as borrowed just incase, never know what may happen, if car breaks down or train gets delayed I may go over the 72hour stint!? I want it all above bord as I do not want to risk losing my cert or his! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 On a side note HE has to wirte it on your ticket and both inform police, when giving it back you can inform police again, if you regularly borrow it belive you can have the gun on both certs and it can be at either location (check with FLO, but a mate had his gun both on his cert and his dads) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted October 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 But I don't have a cabinet at the moment so couldn't keep it on my certificate. I have never borrowed it before and probably won't again. It's just a 1 off as I want to go away for a few days shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have it on your certificate (cabinet isnt a legal requirement certificate is and you will be responsible for securely storing it while in your possesion) and keep it in his cabinet that's what lots of people do (especially kids, students etc etc), however unless all his guns are on your cert you can't have a set of keys or access to the keys for his cabinet. Bonkers i know! If in doubt ring the FLO they will explain exactly what to do but golden rule never write on your own certificate only other peoples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I aren't to write on my own cert. If I do borrow he will put on my cert its been leant and we will both inform police when he lends it and when I return it. Thanks again.

M.I.A Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thats the best bet, but i would give your FEO a quick call tomorrow just to see where you stand on leaving it on your cert. It may aswell stay on there if you are likely to use it again or even if you have no plans too, it saves putting it on another time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
