bedwards1966 Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Go onto the firearms website of your police force and download/print off the application for a shotgun certificate. Fill it out, it's fairly straightforward. Your age won't be a problem, but you do need to find someone to countersign your application, this person cannot be a family member and must have known you for at least 2 years. They should be someone like a doctor, teacher, mp etc. Send off the form and a cheque for £50 and the firearms department will get in touch and interview you and should then grant you a certificate. You also need to install a cabinet. The length of time for applications varies depending on which force you are with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingphil Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Contact your local Police force, they will send you the forms, fill them in (and be honest) send them off, wait, get a call from the FLO, have a chat at home, wait for the SGC to drop on the door mat. Simples... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
