If you google fire arms certificate it will tell you all you need to know but you will not be able to buy a shotgun untill your 17 yrs old hope this helps.

Most Police Authorities have their own website.

 

Some are very good, others are terrible but I suggest you look up yours and then look up the firearms section, a bit of digging will tell you everything you need to know.

 

If you are really having a problem look up the Thames Valley Police, their site is very good for info on firearms/shotguns.

 

Cheers

Moxy

i thought you were still aloud to own one if you went out with someone over 18. not doughting your knowledge just asking

 

 

Technicalities of the wording....you cannot go out and buy one until you are 17.

 

It is possible that someone else can buy you one with certain control conditions at a younger age!

Try this link

 

You can get a certificate under 17 years old, but if you need to be supervised when shooting or can't buy a shotgun or cartridges on your own - then you may aswell go shooting with someone who has a certificate and just apply for your own when you are 17 or older

you dont need to be supervised as long as you are 15 and have a licence

It is explained in the link what you can and can't do. I'm only expressing my thoughts on the matter

 

So have one back Andy 08

 

And good luck to those who are applying for their SGC, shooting sports need as many young people as possible to carry on whilst being challenged more and more
