Many thanks for your responses guys, will go with a Bratton cabinet. I have another question I've just thought of if you don't mind. One of my parents took their own life 5 years ago (not with a firearm). Do you think this might affect my application? I myself wasn't diagnosed with any mental illness following the incident. It was just something I thought of just now, so thought I would ask.

Do Brattonsound provide a gunsafe with a seperate drawer for ammo? I couldn't see one looking about! Is that what the Plus means on their names? Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed responses guys. Would you say it's more difficult to get both granted at once or is it more the merit of my application? I guess I'll ask for advice on a rifle and shotgun if/when I get my application granted. I've got a few questions about a gun cabinet though. Is there one you would recommend? I think 3 guns would more than suit me for a start, since I'll keep my air-rifle in there to be on the safe side. If you guys have recommendations on which cabinet to go for, I'd appreciate it. One problem is I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get the gun inside a fitted w

Hi all! I posted a month or so back about my brother's old shotgun certificate. I think we've got it sorted now. I've got some more questions for you now if you don't mind. I live on a farm that's a few hundred acres. We've got plenty of rabbits and foxes, as well as way too many pigeons! Up until now I've been dealing with the pigeons with a .22 air rifle since I can shoot them in the sheds with this gun, but now they're more than I can handle. I need something else to get rid of them with, as well as the rest of the vermin on the land. Plus, I really enjoy shooting! Obviously a s

Thanks guys, I'm out of the country right now. I'll be sure to pass on this information. Hopefully my next post will be something more positive, like advice for a first shotgun.

Many thanks for the response. In all honesty, the licence could have been expired for over a year. Would registering it with another licence holder still be an option? The reason he no longer has a gun cabinet fitted is because he moved house in the last few years, took his gun cabinet with him, but because the gun is no use where he lives, he kept the gun at the old address. Really moronic I know. I hate cleaning up after somebody. Can he just call the police and explain his situation? What sort of punishment could he expect, given that he admitted to the mistake? It seems stupid

Hi guys, I've got a question about shotgun licencing. My brother was an avid hunter in his younger years. However he has had no interest in it recently, and the only thing the shotgun gets used for is putting down cows. He has, for lack of a better description, been a moron and let his shotgun licence expire. Worse than that, the gun's been in a shed as opposed to a gun cabinet, so there's a spot or two of rust on it as well. Despite the licence having expired however, we've had no word from the police. I don't even know what he'd do if they turned up one day. The shotgun is inside now
