Cosd Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 This may be an obvious one A friend of mine has applied for his SGC and waiting for it to come through. He's due to go and have a day on the woodies this weekend with another friend who is a SGC holder. Regards cartridges, obviously he can't buy any, but if I bought them, could I give them to the non SGC holder to take along himself? Or do I need to get the cartridges to my other friend who is a SGC holder? Note this does not include a gun off course, the SGC holder will have that already.

WelshLamb Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yes you can buy cartridges and give them to him. A SGC is required only to buy cartridges, not possess them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Yes you can buy cartridges and give them to him. A SGC is required only to buy cartridges, not possess them Thanks That was my understanding, I just needed to be 100% Cos I didn't think, I could ask BASC Been with them 5 years so should get something for my money Just called them and they confirmed that a non SGC holder can carry cartridges Thought that was the case but wanted to make sure....

ChrisAsh Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Guess it's legal, but not in the spirit of the law Could cause a few hours hold up if stopped by the police as to why he had them on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legal....spirit of the law Not quite sure I got that. But regards getting stopped, probably no different to any of us getting stopped with no SGC handy and having guns in the car! He's BASC insured even though he doesn't have his SGC yet, so long as it's within the law then I don't have any issues with it at all.

I don't see why it could cause a few hours hold up, he would not be breaking any laws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulpicide Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 The spirit of the law does not exist thats why when laws are passed it's in writing and a lot of work goes into the language used to make the meaning as precise as possible so that there is little ambiguity. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 He could have 8,000 cartridges on him and be perfectly legal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
