MG6065 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Evening all! Just curious on the Laws regarding a 17 year old (me) selling a shotgun? I know I can't buy or hire one until I'm a 'man' aka 18 years old but can I sell one?? There's no information anywhere? I asked at my local gun shop and he wasn't sure? All advice welcome, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Not a critisism at all but why is there a reluctance to ask an FEO yet post on this forum? If it's a query regarding law then why not just phone your FEO. EDIT: I'm not referring to you personally mate just in general.

MG6065 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I do I get in contact with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Interesting point about selling them, as an under 18 ownership is a tricky legal issue be interesting to hear what the FEO says about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedwards1966 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I can't think of anything saying you can't sell them, I'm sure it's legal. I suppose the reason that nobody knows is that very few people at that age seem to want to sell their gun! It's your property, and you have to be able to dispose of it somehow, and I can't see any reason why you would not be allowed to receive money for it. As to getting in contact with your FEO, either ring your firearms department (their phone number will be on their website) and ask them if you can speak to your FEO, or they might even have your FEO's number on the website. I know my force does that. I'm sure it must be legal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeredup Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 My FEO gave me his mobile phone number when he did my security visit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I'm sure it must be legal though. I'm sure it isn't illegal, but for a 17 year old to sell a gun that must have been gifted and to write on an SGC is interesting. I am guessing you can sell it or give it away but can't part x it???

It is certainly an interesting question, I too would be interested to know an FEO's take on this (though I suppose there is no guarantee that they'll get it right).
