Shotgun Licences - too readily available?

For some time I have wondered whether Shotgun Licences are too easily granted.  The whole process could be initiated by a theory test focussing on public safety and the law concerning shotgun ownership etc. Coupled with this, a background check, a rigorous interview in assessing the applicant's mental state and aptitude. Should these stages be successfully navigated the applicant should be granted a provisional shotgun licence.  Before a full licence is granted, the applicant would be required to complete a log comprising a number of supervised outings, demonstrating competency.  

Parts of the above process are not unlike acquiring a BSAC qualification and/or obtaining a driving licence.  An organisation such as BASC in conjunction with the Police authority could organise much of this. Yes, it would come at a price but it would weed out those not fit to be in possession of a shotgun.

Can I ask  do you have a Shotgun Certificate ?
