If you OWN an air rifle, your breaking the law. Lol. But you can own a FAC firearm. Under 18 you can only use an air rifle. It's not allowed to be yours. Not even if it's given too you or bought for you. It doesn't make sense too me. ATB

The law allows for you to get a fac at 10 within reson as that is the legal age of criminal responsibility however it is very rear best thing to do is contact your local firearms officer.

A firearms certificate cannot be granted to anyone under the age of 14,

 

A shotgun certificate has no age restriction whatsoever on it being granted, only what you can acquire and keep at different ages from 15 onward.
