ChrisAsh Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 AS a shotgun owner I am quite happy with the firearms laws in this country. they seem to be reasonable and place sensible limits on the ownership and usage of guns Pistols will always be a big boys toy in the uk but hardly a massive loss and there is still black powder pistols if you feel the need, I loved shooting Browning's in the forces but I also enjoyed riding a motor bike without a helmet or driving without a seat belt, times change and many more laws are made than deleted The fact that guns are not used unlawfully very often does prove the general public are quite safe in this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billytheghillie Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 ....and Scotland are introducing a new Air Weapon Certificate in a few months time. Part of the SNP plans to end gun ownership. It'll be costlier & more controlled than the current shotgun certificate! if this happens what does one do? I have a air rifle, but who else knows that I own one, as it is not on cert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Please can you send some US NRA representatives over to show our shooting organisations how to represent us in a slightly more vocal context as ours seem to favour the strongly worded letter approach.

Lord Geordie Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Right. What type of firearm do you want? What do you want to use it for? Where do you want to use it? Basically, you fill in a firearm application form in it saying what type of firearm you would like to have. You will need to say why you need it, where you will use it. You will pay for the licence at the same time you send the form off. You will then be interviewed at home and assessed. Full background checks will be carried out. If you are successful, a certificate is issued and you can then go buy the firearm that you have applied for Plus dont forget, the land needs cleared for the calibre you wish to buy too! If it is not cleared, and its the only land you have, you won't get it either I believe? unless its for target shooting at a club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
