BigDave15 Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 My dads got a shotgun certifacate and for the past year I have been happly shooting under the guidence of the keeper and dad but with my 15 birthday coming up I was just wondering what is the current law about going out on you own on private land at 15? I understand you have to have a certifacate so I am going to apply for my own but will the policemen have to come round again as he has already seen were the the guns are kept? And I understand I cant by ammo and stuff so will there be any need for all that again. So many questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 17, 2002 Report Share Posted November 17, 2002 BigDave, you can shoot unsupervised from the age of 15 years, but you must have a shotgun certificate. If you are a member, ring the BASC, they will answer all your licensing questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game bore Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Does anyone know the minimum age that you can be issued with a Shotgun Certificate? Am I correct in assuming that a person of 14 years can use a shotgun without being a shotgun certificate holder whilst in the company of an adult with a certificate? What age can someone be a cert holder and possess a shotgun for sporting/competition purposes in a public place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave15 Posted November 18, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Thanks You lot Game Bore: I think you can have a certifacate at any age but it is only really means anything when you get to 15 when you can go out on your own. Theres a really good police website about firearms laws but I stupidly deleted it from my favorites so if anybody knows one it could be of help.
