jayscott Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I have been shooting with my gun on my dad's licence (with him there) i am only 16 but i have a days goose shooting planned and my dad can't make it. So i need a little advice the gun shop i work in would be able to lend me a gun for the day assuming it were to go on one of the other shooters licences (who are onver 17) but i wouldn't be able to get it on my licence is that right? i know it can be lent out without having to go on a licence as long as it is no longer than 72 hours so was just wondering. Also roughly haw long does it take for a shotgun licence to go through roughly? if i sent it away this week would it be back by the 22nd of December? Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daitai Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The time it takes depends on your local police. But from what i have been reading on various forums is anything between 6 weeks to 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 You refer to "your" licence as well ask asking about applying for one. I will assume you meant "when you get it". The age restrictions are such that you can't purchase or hire a shotgun until you are 17. If you had a ticket you could receive a gift of a shotgun from the age of 15, you are also allowed to possess a shotgun as long as it is secured and suitably covered. The gunshop can't lend you a gun, they could lend someone else who's going with you a gun, though. As to the legality of you then using that gun and the chain of people knowing that's what was going to happen, I am not getting involved in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myuserid Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 15-16's can be lent a gun but cannot buy one and can shoot without supervision, so ask your dad for his gun, or get your dad to buy you one. Submit your firearms 103 form and you should be good to go, read the following: http://www.basc.org.uk/media/young_people_and_shotguns.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
