The Single-Barrel, Break-Open Shotgun

[Geordie_Rob]

No you are right you don't get specific slots(permission)like with an fac, you get a blanket certificate to buy whatever type/ action/ brand/ configuration and calibre you like....you can only be refused if you have a criminal record / you tell the officer something really stupid like I want a shotgun for self defence as i'm a prepper or he's not happy with your security(cabinet)

They do ask what you want it for when they visit....my answer was a bit of rough shooting and clay pigeon.

I believe the criminal record isn't a deal breaker unless its a violent offence but lying is a no no... you must declare anything.

I've declared all of my dirty little secrets Even the fine I got off a copper for setting my lip up to him. For the record, I still think he was a wanker then, even more so after he lawfully robbed me of £30.

My only worry is the safe since it's 2nd hand. The guy I bought it off had bought a nice shiny 12 gun cabinet & sold me this cheap to make space so I'm assuming I'll be fine. But until the copper says yes, I still only have the word of the guy who sold it, & it is in his interests to say what I wanted to hear.
