TJ91 Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Fill it in on their cert and inform your firearms dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Check that they have a shotgun licence before letting them inside. Check that they are the person on the licence. If you sell the gun, you enter the sale on their licence. Take their details - name, address and licence number, as you will need them to notify the Police that you have disposed of the shotgun and to whom.

robbiep Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Most police forces have copies of the notification forms on their websites. For you, in Lincolnshire, they even have a form you can fill in online: http://www.lincs.police.uk/About/Departments/Operations-Support/Firearms-Licensing/ I prefer paper copies, registered post, then you have proof if they never get it. My police force have them, you might be able to find a 'generic' form to print off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
