Mr_Logic 5 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Don't know these days. I got my first FAC at 15 but I think they changed it. Might well be 14 for shotguns. Quote Link to post

markbivvy 6 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Under 14 :- You may not use a section 1 firearm except for target shooting as a member of a Home Office approved rifle club. Age 14 to 17 :- At the age of 14 you may be granted a firearms certificate and be given firearms & ammunition in accordance with the conditions specified on the certificate. Over 17 :- You may buy a firearm & ammunition in accordance with the conditions set out on your certificate. SHOTGUNS :- Under 15 :- You can only shoot under the direct supervision of an adult over 21. Age 15 to 17 :- You can be loaned or given a shotgun and cartridges but you cannot purchase them. You can use a shotgun without supervision provided you have a current shotgun certificate. Over 17 :- You can buy a shotgun provided you have a shotgun certificate. NB :- A shotgun certificate is required at any age unless the following applies :- You are shooting with the occupier of land and using their gun, in their presence and on their land or you are shooting at a police approved Clay shoot.
