Yes you can allow them to use your gun as long as you trust them, don't let them out of your sight though.

do you have the land owners permission to take some one with you when you go on the land.

An extract from the law on this

 

6.14 Section 11(5) of the 1968 Act allows

an individual, without holding a shot gun

certificate, to borrow a shot gun from the

occupier of private premises and use it on

those premises in the occupier’s presence.

The term “occupier” is not defined in the Firearms

Acts, nor has a Court clarified its meaning.

However, the Firearms Consultative

Committee in their 5th Annual report

recommended that the provisions of section

27 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981

be adopted. This states that ‘“occupier” in

relation to any land, other than the foreshore,

includes any person having any right of

hunting, shooting, fishing or taking game or

fish’.

 

Hope this helps

No they don't Hunter, read the previous thread. The important bit is that they need to be supervised, so you can't hand them the shotty and let them trot off on their own.
