wymberley Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 What on earth are you on about? One of those posts was mine anyway so I fail to see how you are using it to prove me wrong. J. Who's trying to prove you wrong? We know that you're right. It has already been said several times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanL Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 i`m sorry to say but i think this is a bad idea as i see this. if the police dont think he is responsible enough to have sole access to his guns they shouldn`t have granted his cert in the first place. You're missing the point. The clearly do think he's responsible enough (or they wouldn't have granted the cert) but the law does not allow him to be in unsupervised possession. J.

jonno Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 (edited) Its a practical solution..... thunbs up to the FEO for a solution that brings a youngster into the sport. I'll second that! Edited May 23, 2012 by jonno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 it seems to me a very good solution and just removes the lads temptation to take the guns out on his own But he's old enough to take them out on his own. I certainly did at the age of 15. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonwolf444 Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) Hello - i might be able to help you out - im 17 now and when i first applied i was 15, my parents also had the same idea about the keys but the FEO told me that it was illegal for my perents to have any of the keys, even thought they technically wouldnt have access to the guns in the cabinate. This is just what i have been told, it mattered little anyway, as i always tell them when im out shooting and for the first few months whenever i went out shooting i was pheasant shooting and had to get a lift of my parents anyway, the whole thing comes down to trust IMHO. Yes you can GIFT a shotgun (ie no money changing hands in payment for the shotgun) to a person under 18 who cannot buy their own ammo or gun, as long as they are OVER 15, So you should probably give the lad some carts or the whole escapade becomes a bit pointless. To gift a gun, instead of writing "sold" on his/ your Cert you just write "gifted"/"Givven" and you'll need to fill out the form for the transfer of a shotgun for you firearms dept. Unless the laws changed its all OK. so if you run into any problems contace basc or someone. Also might be nice to take him out shooting, this way you can see if he has any bad habbits that you can give him pointers on, although the FEO obviously thought the boy safe and mature enough, you (the op) doesnt really say how much experience he has.
