SportingShooter 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Aup mate the laws changed you have got to be 18 to be gifted a shotgun now Section 2 ShotgunsPurchase/sale to minors – Section 22(1) & 24(1) of the Firearms Act 1968 The purchase age is raised from 17 years to 18 years. The law is also amended to make an offence to sell to under 18’s. This does not affect the age at which a young person may be granted a shotgun certificate nor does it affect the gifting of shotguns to certificate holders aged 15 years or older. From the Firearms Amendment Regulations 2010 Quote Link to post

Thanks for that Quote Link to post
matt_hooks 188 Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Write the FEO an email, stating that you require him to put that in writing apper. He's completely wrong, sounds like he's just making it up as he goes along! Quote Link to post
