Bisley Shotgun






How would I go about applying for a shotgun certificate in the UK?

I am 14 years old, and belong to a rifle club, I've been a member for about 4 months, and have been there overall for about a year or two. I live in the UK, and have had no criminal record what so ever. A member at the club who hands out/signs out the rifles said to me I should have a go at the sport first of all. He recommended Gatwick or Bisley. I have shot 7.62 (.30 calibre) NATO there. I have heard that you CAN however get a shotgun certificate at the age of 2 years old. As for someone to be a referee, they have to know you for 2 years minimum. I was recommended a 12 gauge. I am aware that ammunition has to be kept separately in a compartment above the shotgun cabinet. I live in a 3 bedroom house in London. I live with my grandparents, and my grandmother knows a locksmith who can get firearm/shotgun cabinets trade. Any answers telling me how to go about this would be great and get some thumbs up, thanks.

I used search and found this, but it is a shortened version: The starting point, again, is at your local police station. The shotgun certificate form asks a lot of questions, so take your time filling it in. You will have to enter personal details like:

- Name and address.
- Height.
- Date and place of birth.
- Nationality.
- Occupation.
- Name and address of your employer.
- Your address(es) in the last 5 years.

You will also have to give details of any convictions, however trivial they may seem to you - speeding tickets, for instance. And do be honest, because the information you give will be checked against the police computer.

You will also be asked a number of medical questions - to identify conditions which could render gun handling dangerous - and provide the name of your current GP, together with permission for the police to access your medical history.

You will then have to give details of where your gun is to be stored.

I saw you can download the forms that need filling in.
