Shotgun licence

[slingshot82 32]

Can you get a shotgun licence if you stay in rented property, short term?

 

Thanks Kyle

yes mate! wise to let the owner of the property know that your gonna get one tho. or ask them if u can have one.

Yes - but you obviously must be able to meet the security requirements and you have to notify the police if you change address.

 

But being in rented property is not, in itself, a problem.

 

Not sure about the necessity/advisability of informing landlord. Ask your Firearms Officer about that when you ask for the application form. Sometimes they take the view that the fewer people who know where guns are kept, the better. (although the terms of your tenancy might require you to notify the landlord before bolting a steel security cabinet to an external wall.)

There is nothing to stop you getting a certificate and not getting a gun or keeping it in a friends cabinet.

.......So long as it is also on your friend's Shotgun Certificate and, if you have access to the cabinet, that all his shotguns are also on your certificate.

 

Sounds daft but it is the law.

Thanks people . Might have to contact the landlord lol

I dont see it a problem personally if you were renting a house and wanted to mount a gun cabinet somewhere, as long as when you moved you made good the holes. Its only the same as someone fitting shelves or something inside the house. But, unless you think your landlord would have a serious problem with it, id let him know to be on the safe side.

I live in a rented cottage. I informed my landlord that i wanted to put a S/G cab in the house. He said ok no worries...
