Thread: Required to justify the number of firearms you own?

In Britain your ammo is licensed as well. There is a maximum number of rounds you can buy at one time and a maximum number you can have in your possession.
You are being reasonable, but Police HQ is not, they are trying to chip away at firearms laws and slowly reduce your legal rights to own and use firearms.

Also had a separate licence for Shot Guns.(Smooth Bore ) Don't know what it's like now but it was major issue getting firearm certificate 30 years ago in Scotland

They even need one now for air rifles! For the love of god
Shotgun license is not to bad to get this... "Its a right"!
Firearms is harder you need to justify why you want one. Then you need to state which caliber.
Now say you have a 308 you sell it. You can't buy another one you have to reapply for a new 308 ticket....oh you want a silencer you need a ticket for that two.
So I imported my trueflite barrel from NZ need an export ticket from NZ.....but no import ticket into the uk as it had no chamber, so was not classed as a firearm untill it had been reamed.

Guys don't wait to get remmed! Get stuck into the MP's now!

So far I haven't had to justify the number of guns to my wife.

I remember the look on her face when my son and I talked about rifles and she said "Rifles? You've got more than one?"

As an unlicensed person she doesn't have keys to the safes and doesn't know what's in them.

Yes but the two of you can never make your mind up and you argue like buggery until you decide not to talk with one another

I had an argument with me years ago Rushy, and haven't spoken to myself since, as he sided with me. Now I just do what I want, and bugger me or myself.

Yes I had this happen, it started because being a little deaf I took something I said the wrong way. It escalated from there.

Do you reckon they will use this to justify the separation of the A category i.e. shotguns become something separate to bolt action?
