washerboy Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 A friend at work gets to use his father in laws gun to shoot clays and the odd pigeon, rabbit etc. He wants to know can he apply for a Sgc so he can buy his own clay cartridges, he would like his own gun but at the minute isn't at a house he can call regular digs.

Will Poon Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 No, my son has just received his SGC and he doesn't own a gun , but the FEO did want to see my cabinet again just incase my son wanted to purchase a gun in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1steele Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Yes he can. Just because you have a SGC doesn't mean you have to own a gun, it's also a licence to use one. Edited March 25, 2014 by r1steele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 he can get a SGC without having to own a gun But he will need a permanent address Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearandnoidea Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 he can get a SGC without having to own a gun But he will need a permanent address When I was a student away from home I got my SGC and used my parents address as my permanent address. When I started work and was renting they were happy for me to keep my parents address as my permanent address as well. I only changed it when I bought my first house and then bought my first gun.

HDAV Posted March 25, 2014 Report Share Posted March 25, 2014 You can have an SGC without owning a gun, infact everyone starts off with a cert and no gun they may insist on a cabinet tho.......... :( HAving a cabinet at permanant address isnt required by the law or guidance but some forces seem to insist on it.....

washerboy Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 It's just his parents aren't over keen on him having a cabinet fitted at there house,his temporary address. He can use his father in laws gun any time but makes,it easier to buy his own cartridges without having to ask.also I could give him some of mine to try and wouldn't have to travel and see his father in laws sgc.

Does he have a permanent address? Almost the same situation as my mate: http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/276112-sgc-but-no-cabinet-feo-being-awkward/ if you can be bothered......

spinach Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Just ask if they mind him storing a gun at his father in laws, if he says ok job done. They might not like it if he's in a different area! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
