  • Yes it's called a Shotgun Certficate, but most poeple who don't already have one knows that! In this video I talk through how you can obtain your Section 2 Shotgun Certificate (SGC) and get into the amazing sport of shooting!

    Just applied for mine, GP are conscientious objectors and won't do the medical form, the other surgery who will do then charge £100, have used 'Shootcert' and they've been great all electronic and cost was £75 plus vat. Just playing the waiting game now, great video👍

    Great information. American here and gun rights in other countries than mine has always interested me. I'm passing this information along to a few of my friends in the UK. They are really cool, level headed, responsible and mature people that I have known for years that I would love to see become gun owners as civilians in the UK (some are prior military). My only question is could they use me as a reference if they need an extra person to vouch for them? Thank you for the information.

    • @UKGuns
      @UKGuns  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Awesome! I am fairly certain any reference would have to be living in the UK but they would need to check with their FEO! Definitely encourage them to get into it, they will love it! Video coming soon on the process for firearms as well!

    And I think with a shotgun you can only use buckshot you will need a firearm certificate for Slugs but then again you can buy a musket under a shotgun certificate and just shoot a single round ball and no one would know the difference

      Hi mate, best advice would be look into local clubs such as Clay Pigeon Clubs (if that's what you want to do) that way you can get a feel for it, get in person advice and probably some tuition too. You can also speak with your local FEO for any advice regarding your application when the time comes. Hope that helps!

    I used medcert, cost £60 took three months (Oct-Dec) to arrive but was fairly easy process. Took almost 12 months for the interview to be arranged and its been almost a month since the interview. Around the Christmas period so hoping to get the grant come the new year.

      No a GP will fill the form out regardless. However if you have a history of mental health concerns and are taking medication for it there's a good chance that your firearms officer will refuse the licence.

    Thanks for the videos! I just have a question about the medical history. I have had depression & anxiety & spoken to my GB in the past about this but nothing in over 1-2 years. I am also diagnosed with Autism & ADHD, not sure if that would count as a mental disorder within these parameters? Am all fine now as far as the depression & anxiety and have been for ages. Would this be a problem or would it be clear now because it was so long ago? And if so, is there any way i can go about clearing things up or trying to “improve” my medical record so to speak.

      @@TheBrettMizernope ! I know so stupid - the only way that harming or killing an intruder in a home invasion scenario would be looked at differently is if the act of harm was committed in a spontaneous manor right there and then . It would never be justifiable to discharge a firearm at someone threatening your property because. The action wouldn’t be spontaneous - it would involve pre-meditation : thinking about it , finding keys for safe , unlocking safe , loading shotgun , walking to intruder & pulling the trigger . No sympathy would be given because a shotgun should be kept in a safe at all times & there would be no excuse to why it was out in the first place . This would be murder in the 1st degree & would be 27 years imprisonment .

      Would be interesting to see them exist anywhere, assuming you actually mean rifle and not shotgun. It would be perfectly legal as a shotgun if barrel at least 24" as the bore size is under 2", but no bugger would buy one anyway cos they're useless for everything apart from making TH-cam videos about pointlessly large caliber firearms.

While I understand the restrictions of some countries banning these particular firearms, it think it’s worth a shot for them to make a reappearance in some countries.

      @Senseigainz sorry I didn't look at which video this was on, I assumed you were asking about a Firearms licence. For a shotgun certificate TECHNICALLY you dont need "good reason" and thus you do not need to be a member of a club or have land to shoot on. BUT bear in mind the Police WILL want to know WHY you want to obtain shotguns. However if you simply explained that you know where your local clay ranges are and plan to attend them regularly (it helps if you have already gone along) there are plenty of clay grounds where you can shoot without being a member. This SHOULD be enough. But the more you can do to show you are serious the better it will be for you.
