Try and go for a large calibre here straight away you need an Army background and permission to shoot.

In my area. A shotgun you no longer need to give a reason. Just apply and if you don't have a record you are fine. A FAC 22LR and you need the addition of permission to shoot on suitable land and they usually make it that land only at first, you can add more if you want but you can't just go anywhere. If you chose a club you leave the weapon and ammo there which defeats the object for us so go rabbitting even if it means visiting every farm within 10 miles. To go higher you need to ensure the land is suitable or find more and have experience on the .22. They may put restrictionson like you need to be suppervised. At renewal the restrictions are usually removed.

Yes S.D,
That is indeed the rub, The various Police Forces interpret the gun laws very differently and add their own little rules on top; unfortunately no one rocks the boat too much in fear of not getting a firearm at all. Shotguns are a great tool and it’s a lot easier to get a day out on the clays and a bit of rough shooting, so yeah that is definitely the way to go I reckon.

The main thing for any potential shooter is to get a secure gun safe and a robust shooters insurance policy.
