We do mean licence when we say fire arms certificate I assume?

    I am amazed that such powerful firearms can be owned without recourse to license etc, my local gun shop, Henry Kranks won't sell me one without...should I sue?

    Thanks

    You, too, would do well to read the act. You do not need a Firearms Certificate for a 'regular' shotgun ( read the act if you need to know which), but you do need a Shotgun Certificate.

    And you should read my post properly before falling into the same pedants language trap Bri set....clever clogs!! You are assuming other people are not as able to read basic English as you are...etc etc.

    That's why I only used the word license in relation to a shotgun......

    'certificate' not license.

    And thanks to all for putting me right about it. The legislation really IS a load of total shite, isn't it?

    Just 'cause it's the law doesn't make it 'right'.....you are correct in your slaggin' of the law and your assumptions would meet with approval from the man on the Clapham omnibus ( for those that enjoy law stuff..)

    Stand by what you said and march, march on town hall!!!

    Not total shite, but there are some glaring omissions in it. It mentions Air Pistols, but does not define them, it mentions 'lethal' as part of the definition of a firearm, but again does not define lethal as any set power level. It mentions 'Capable' but does not define what that means.

    But it's no different from many other acts of parliament - the Highways Act for example, doesn't define what constitutes a Highway (how bizarre is that!)

    The rules of FT and the Firearms Act do indeed have many things in common Tom - for example, you have read neither of them but cannot resist from inflicting your opinion of them on everyone
