To FAC or not to?

[Highlander]

As you have already said they already know all there is to know about you, so I would personally go for the FAC, and be legal.

I doubt that the plod would be looking for guns unless you have somehow given them reason to do so,... and remember that you need a license to buy your ammo

It is looking like Scotland will be going for the license for air rifles next month, I will be applying for mine, if I don't get it I will just store it, and if anyone asks I will tell them I have sold it,.. all I need to carry out to do that, is to make sure I don't sell to anyone under the age of 18yrs

Incidentally, some of the answers are referring to shotguns, but its a different license for shotguns, shotguns have to have a shotgun license, and rim fire guns need a Fire Arms cert
