Jamesrb90 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Morning all. Trying to do some research on traveling with a shotgun. Although there's plenty of info regarding taking it on a plane I couldn't find any if driving over boarders. And what are the rules once abroad regarding gun cabnet. I was hoping to go over to Ireland this year and thought it'll be a good idea to take my gun. Or not I doubt my family have a gun cabnet So does anyone travel that may shed some light on this topic? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 That would be bordering on dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 You cannot just rock up in Ireland, either part, without Police permits being issued for the shotgun you wish to take. I've been over shooting in home international matches for England and we had to complete forms which were downloadable from the CPSA website, might be worth a look there or at the respective websites for which part you are going to.

Rupert Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 And what are the rules once abroad regarding gun cabnet.

Was looking at this last night and pondering the guns and shells in same car situation and then the buying shells in ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1440 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 I also read it had recently changed. Might have been in the CPSA Pull mag. If your going via the tunnel or ferry to mainland europe. Let the ferry company or the tunnel lot know in advance as they now nsist that you do and will be deep do do if you get searched even if you have your SGL and EFP wihh you. (I have been searched the lsst 3 times even though I not been going on a shooting trip) You will need a EFP once in mainland europe and I would always take an invite to where you are going for crossin borders into in mainland europe by car.

Catamong Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 You won't be taking the Tunnel to Ireland, but if used it to get to Calais there is no requirement to notify Eurotunnel in advance, just declare it after check in and you will be fine.
