At the moment there is nothing to stop an unlicensed person storing their gun with someone who has a AWC, SGC or FAC, and nothing to stop them shooting it under supervision (with the usual permissions etc). What they can't do is acquire one, transport one or store one. A lot of people who missed the 31 October deadline, for whatever reason, are in this position as Police Scotland seem to be taking 6 -8 months to process new applications at the moment.
