Ozzy Fudd Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 wouldnt think you need to be a member of a gun club but you have to prove you have experienceof shooting before you get one. id been in the cadets when i was at school,so i got two shotguns and a .22 on my first fac (dont have sgc here in ni, all fac) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Applied along with my SC re-newal. No perticular reason given, got my .177 & .22. Go figure :( Eh? you didn't need to supply good reason regarding why or where you would use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayman Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 No requirements in law that you be a memeber of a club or association, or that you have insurance - but they all help to oil the wheels of an application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 That depends on your reason for a firearm. You are correct that if you want one for sporting purposes. However if you want a rifle for target shooting then there is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 im just thinking about it at the mo, well iv been thinking about it and learning all i need to first before i apply, via this site, books and mags and of course tinternet, for a good few months now, im sure iv got it all down now and have land to shoot on so it wont belong now before i apply, not target practise but will be for rabbits and the like, someone just mentioned you might have to be a member of a club so as to have gained some experiance, i didnt think it was rite but thought i would check, thanks for your replys chaps, lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 You may have a mentor condition applied. I've had shotties for years, allso a member of a rifle club when I applied for my grant. I had a mentor condition when out shooting on my grant. Removed after about 6 months.
