Yes it's called a Shotgun Certficate, but most poeple who don't already have one knows that! In this video I talk through how you can obtain your Section 2 Shotgun Certificate (SGC) and get into the amazing sport of shooting!

Just applied for mine, GP are conscientious objectors and won't do the medical form, the other surgery who will do then charge £100, have used 'Shootcert' and they've been great all electronic and cost was £75 plus vat. Just playing the waiting game now, great video👍

Great information. American here and gun rights in other countries than mine has always interested me. I'm passing this information along to a few of my friends in the UK. They are really cool, level headed, responsible and mature people that I have known for years that I would love to see become gun owners as civilians in the UK (some are prior military). My only question is could they use me as a reference if they need an extra person to vouch for them? Thank you for the information.

@UKGuns 8 ай бұрын

Awesome! I am fairly certain any reference would have to be living in the UK but they would need to check with their FEO! Definitely encourage them to get into it, they will love it! Video coming soon on the process for firearms as well!

Thanks for the videos! I just have a question about the medical history. I have had depression & anxiety & spoken to my GB in the past about this but nothing in over 1-2 years. I am also diagnosed with Autism & ADHD, not sure if that would count as a mental disorder within these parameters? Am all fine now as far as the depression & anxiety and have been for ages. Would this be a problem or would it be clear now because it was so long ago? And if so, is there any way i can go about clearing things up or trying to “improve” my medical record so to speak.

could i keep the shot gun @ a local gun club?Is that an option?

Spoke to my Gp on phone , said come in for chat, came in for chat 5 mins signed my proforma £60 , done. Now can proceed with online application on MET Police website (SGC by the way) and wait for as long as it takes and carry on shooting with club gun.

Any advice for a young starter (Just under 15 at the minute so I am aware things will change when I become 15)

@UKGuns Ай бұрын

Hi mate, best advice would be look into local clubs such as Clay Pigeon Clubs (if that's what you want to do) that way you can get a feel for it, get in person advice and probably some tuition too. You can also speak with your local FEO for any advice regarding your application when the time comes. Hope that helps!

I used medcert, cost £60 took three months (Oct-Dec) to arrive but was fairly easy process. Took almost 12 months for the interview to be arranged and its been almost a month since the interview. Around the Christmas period so hoping to get the grant come the new year.

I have been to my gp for anxiety and take medication for it would this affect me getting the form filled out by my gp

@carl4391 6 күн бұрын

No a GP will fill the form out regardless. However if you have a history of mental health concerns and are taking medication for it there's a good chance that your firearms officer will refuse the licence.

@Senseigainz sorry I didn't look at which video this was on, I assumed you were asking about a Firearms licence. For a shotgun certificate TECHNICALLY you dont need "good reason" and thus you do not need to be a member of a club or have land to shoot on. BUT bear in mind the Police WILL want to know WHY you want to obtain shotguns. However if you simply explained that you know where your local clay ranges are and plan to attend them regularly (it helps if you have already gone along) there are plenty of clay grounds where you can shoot without being a member. This SHOULD be enough. But the more you can do to show you are serious the better it will be for you.

It sucks you can’t have semi automatic 4 bore rifles in the UK. It’d be really nice to see those exist there.

@bigrack6668 8 ай бұрын

Would be interesting to see them exist anywhere, assuming you actually mean rifle and not shotgun. It would be perfectly legal as a shotgun if barrel at least 24" as the bore size is under 2", but no bugger would buy one anyway cos they're useless for everything apart from making KZfaq videos about pointlessly large caliber firearms.

@@bigrack6668 I was talking about semi autos chambered in 5.56/.223. And yes lol I did mean rifle and not shotgun. Yes it would most definitely be interesting to see then exist anywhere. While I understand the restrictions of some countries banning these particular firearms, it think it’s worth a shot for them to make a reappearance in some countries.
