How Hard Is It To Be Gifted An Gun

[Joe Waterson 0]

Hi there. I am 16 and just turned a member of a home office approved gun club. I was think of applying for a 22lr and a 223 for target shooting but if i do get land to shoot on i can then use it on that but i am only 16 so i would need to be gifted a gun and ammo. Does any one know how hard it is to be gifted a gun does the person have to have a separate slot for that riffle or what. Just not sure weather to apply if its going to be really hard to be gifted a gun? Thank you in advance

This could go off all over the place but the basics are simple, someone in a legal position to do so has to purchase on your behalf (or may already own said gun) and you must hold appropriate FAC to accept.

 

You will get a whole load back here but all that really counts is what your region wants, so ask them!

 

Most regions are very happy to have a chat (if you can ever get through) or perhaps just email.

 

 

Edit

There are variations of the rules for members of Home Office Approved Clubs, as you are a member ask your Club Secretary how you can get one for club use!
