Mattratting Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Hi I'm seriously considering buying a shotgun but fear living in a flat might hamper my chances Has anyone any knowledge of my chances or restrictions on getting a licence due to multi occupancies dwellings Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I don't think living in a flat would make any difference, you would be the only one with the keys to the cabinet. Or do you meen sharing a flat with friends? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superspark Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 The only way to realy find out is to get the ball rolling and see what happens. I wouldnt thought it would be a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 My first application was for a rented flat in Bristol. No problem. Then I moved to a house then back to a rented flat. Each time they just did the usual stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B25Modelman Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I knew of someone (wasn't a friend) who lived in a flat, had a shotgun license and was growing cannabis in his airing cupboard. Surely he must have known he does not need a gun license to grow it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Surely he must have known he does not need a gun license to grow it True, but it does mean he is a responsible gun owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
