Dan_Mercian 27 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I noticed on the certificate it says "notify police of theft, lending, sale or disposal of a shotgun" or something along those lines. My question is how would you go about "disposing" of a gun? Do you have to have certificates to show it's been disposed of? Or do you have to take it to the police and let them do it? I don't need to get rid of one, I just wondered the process. Quote Link to post

SEAN3513 7 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 rfd or police station ( fire arms dept) disposal usualy refers to a scrap gun i.e out of proof or damaged beyond repair Quote Link to post
miller 18 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) iF you want to dispose of a gun, you can simply take it to a gun shop and they wiil write on a transfer form and your certificate that you have transferred the gun to the shop, and give you a transfer form for you to sign and send off to your local police firearms office. All in all no different to buying and selling one. Edited March 16, 2011 by miller Quote Link to post
Dan_Mercian 27 Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Thanks for that! Makes sense, otherwise people could just write in saying it was 'destroyed' and have it off ticket. Quote Link to post
hw100sniper 2 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 If you take it to the local cop shop they take it off you and fill out 3 forms 1 for you as proof that you got rid ,1 for the firearms dept and 1 gets kept in the local cop shop . Quote Link to post
