Can I buy or sell a shotgun/rifle at the moment, I have emailed my licensing department and I am waiting a reply. All transactions will be with private vendors, I am buying a rifle and selling a number of shotguns, just wondering if allowed at the minute with the partial lifting of the lock down? Thank you yes you can I have bought 2 shotguns and sold one and put a deposit down on a new .308 Derbyshire firearms told me as long as you social distance. it can be done easy at home nobody has to come into your property. I did the sale outside in garage at back of house while keeping 2mtr apart. Don't even need to hand over cash if bacs transfer used. make sure everything touched is cleaned and sanitise hands after. no issue.

It doesn’t change anything as far as I’m concerned however; it’s idiotic in its lack of logic. It would appear it makes no sense to any of those whose houses I’m painting either. They certainly aren’t bothered. It’s not like I’m a plumber or electrician doing essential work, it’s only paint! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
