Shotgun ticket ???

[Greyman 33,341]

Ok so lots of you have your tickets and I,m about to apply for mine the first obstacle I see is the fact I live on a boat, now I can weld a cabinet to the sides in my engine room which is obviously all metal with a lockable door but would that suffice or would I be better registering them at my sisters house that already has a cabinet with fac and shotguns, ? can I just walk into the police station and ask to speak with the firearms licensing dude and ask my questions direct anything else you can think of I need to do to get the ball rolling would be a help and anything I shouldn’t do cheers

Unless it's changed .. for a shotgun minimum storage security was a trigger lock .. so to me if your putting a cabinet on your boat I don't see why it shouldn't be ok . Someone in your area or your local gunshop will have contact details for the local feo get a chat with them and see what they say.

Trigger lock hasn't been enough for years with my local force minimum is cabinet bolted to wall and floor

Contact your local firearms also check your doctor will sign your application or other wise you will have to use some one like medcert to request your medical notes to sign them for you paul you will need a locker bolted to either a wall a solid surface of some kind each force is different so you would be better speaking directly to your local firearms department

Do not forget to tell them if you have been a bad boy in the past.If you do not list any convictions even from when you were a kid you will not get it.Certain things like depression are maybe reasons to say no .Lots of things these days will not allow you to obtain a SGC.The wait is enough to put most people off.Joining a club was a big plus for me

Plenty of history mate but hopefully all good now and hopefully the new job should get things moving in the right direction, which gun shop would you recommend in Gloucester there’s one in quedgley less than a mile from me but not a lot on line countryman’s sports seem to come up a lot also not far from me ??

Have a check with the BASC they might know the score with guns on boats

Quedgley long gone .left with countryman who can be very good but it is only a small shop.

Your best bet is to ring your local firearms department because in my experience with them they all have different rules, everything with mine is online now and they will want a medical report from your doctors ( more expense ) I can’t see a problem with having a cabinet on your boat as it’s your fixed address and if you move, just like if I moved house I just need to inform them, and as above, tell them everything you can remember because they already know it. When I put in for my FAC there was something I hadn’t put on my application and it looked like I was keeping something from them until the firearms lad jogged my memory, I had genuinely forgotten as it was a long time ago but it would of stopped my application if I hadn’t mentioned it

Thanks everyone plenty to go at think I,ll pop in the police station on my way to the countryman shop kill to birds and hopefully get things up and running thanks again

I know a keeper who lives in a static and his fire arms officer is cool with him having both shotties and fac's kept there in a gun safe..

Feck all to do with the old bill and just phone the fire arms officer...

[Stavross 19,696]

If you go into the front desk they won’t have a clue what you’re on about, best thing to do is to ring them because it’s all they deal with, they are separate from the normal plod
