Practical Shotgun: Vary A Firearm Certificate:

[David Aiken 253]

I`m hoping to take up practical shotgun, there's not much space on the `application to vary a firearm certificate` form 202 for a `good reason` Is `practical shotgun` all I need to write? Is 250 rounds of 12g slug an expectable amount of slug ammo? Also I'm still turning down random .22lr shooting as the land owners wont rabbits shot there and then with out the rigmarole of a FLO visit, as I have 5 permissions now, should I apply for my ticket to be `open`? at the same time? Do I just enclose a letter with my `application to vary a firearm certificate` form 202? Thanks all! ;-)

Does they insist on a visit even just for .22lr in your force area

Some forces are very funny about practical shotgun and insist you've passed the UKPSA course before they would grant you a S1 shotgun. Best speak to them first for the best way forward.

Yep, every last bit! Even one which is between two other permissions I already had!

I've heard this. Can't understand how a 3 shot shotgun is fine, but 5+1 is like asking for the crown jewels! I mean, I have a firearms certificate and a 10 shot .22lr!
