What guns can I own in the UK?

Question

I think I can have a shotgun right? And a bolt action rifle and a hunting scoped rifle, plus a long barreled handgun and an air rifle and sound suppressors. What's the age limits on these and what other weapons can I own? Also, there's a hooting club near me, how old do I need to be to join? I'm 16, also I'm a crack shot not to brag...

Answer 1

Sniper rifle

any shot shotgun

double barrel shotgun

long barrel handgun

bolt action rifle

any sound moderator(silencer)

any scope or night vision

air rifle

you must keep it in a safe container away from the ammo and you need to be 17 to get a shooting license, and you can use a gun supervised by a 21 year old at any age and anyone over 14 can have a gun bought for them by a license owner but can only use it on private property. You need a reaon to posses a fire arm, just say sport or vermin control and you'll have no bother. Also your local gangster can kit you out with an uzi lol, not advised, gun crime is a terrible thing

Answer 2

A permit is required to own a shotgun or rifle in the UK. You must be over 18 and have a good reason for owning the weapon, for example pest control or belonging to a shooting club. Handguns are illegal except in some very rare circumstances. Guns can be kept on your property but must be sealed in an approved safe. The cost of a permit is around £50 and the police will inspect your record and your property prior to issuing the permit. For more Information visit your local police station who can give you more advice and issue the required forms to get a permit. HOWEVER, if your standard of English is anything to go by, I suspect you may have a hard time being granted the necessary license.
