From the land that only allows boomsticks and BB's I'd just like to say you'd better hold onto that Constitution amendments and all no matter what.

Do you mean shotguns?  You can own far more than just shotguns in the UK.

I'd like to get one of those compressed air powered rifles for vermin control.

I've had enough of stray cats and evicted tenants going through my bins.

Mine the bins instead, saves you having to keep watch then 😄

Technically true, however you must prove you have a place to use it, usually membership to a club and regular attendance to a range suited to the gun in question is a must  Even then it's down to the plod that assesses your application. Home defence is not a reason to own a gun in the UK legally speaking. We have no right to bear arms here, we are 'permitted' to apply for a license we may or may not be authorised to have by an oppressive authority that takes drastic action against our liberties with very little basis in fact or with use of carefully studied evidence. 

Shotties are easier to get due to the larger number of clay sites (although I wonder how many will survive this year) and for land owners and those with access to land. That mag fed semi auto shotgun thing is interesting, I didn't know that. The pump we have is limited to I think three rounds (!) to comply with legislation. I don't use it and wasn't really interested so not fully read on the subject, hitting clays with a pump seems uncouth 😁

As for the rest it's a hoop jumping load of nonsense. Just my opinion and experience.

@Roy - when you say compressed air - do you mean PCP!?

if so then FYI - - the one I got BSA R10 MK2 - fires upto 200 shots from a 10 shot magazine on one "charge" of the "buddy bottle"!

But I spent a LOT of pennies and got the "FULL" gear with buying the Air tank - gives approx 2500/3000 shots for a £4 refill!! 😉👌👍

Ok, you understand it far more than your other post implied.  It sounded like you were saying the UK only allows shotguns.  I’ve jumped through the hoops you mention above and I personally think it is a very sensible process.  It’s not that difficult if you don’t have anything dodgy in your past and there are plenty of certified ranges around.  There are 4 within a 20 minute drive of where I live that between them would allow me shoot even the largest UK legal calibres.

I’m pretty sure the mag fed shotguns are also limited to 3 rounds max.  I agree with your other comment - if you’re shooting clays a double barrel is far more gentlemanly 😄

Easier in Northern Ireland, self defense is legitimate reason and handguns are allowed, I think theirs about 400,000 registered firearms there, and from what I've seen on the forum I think quite a few members have shotgun licences

[Arganto]

If someone has an easy time of getting a license for .22/.223 or something else on the 'allowed' list then I am very happy for them and wish them endless hours of enjoyment with their firearm. It isn't always easy and anecdotally it is the opposite from my experience. Also the fact that we are restricted by type and calibre is farcical as it is that personal defence is not a reason to own a gun (silly that NI, part of the UK, has different laws but good on them). Personally I don't think the majority of people should have a gun in an ideal world, but then I think that about cars. That said if government agencies can carry them then the citizens should too. I believe in proper training and safety drills, respect should be imprinted on owners as it should be with drivers and people who use anything that can easily take a life due to a slip in judgement. 

Gun control has not helped violent crime, it seems to be about disarming the populace. Our American friends are at risk of their constitutional rights being rescinded; don't let that happen.

There probably wasn't a need for me to type this and apologise for steering the thread astray from the OP's post but sometime the fingers rant of their own accord.

Peace yo 💕

Those of us who agree with you 😉 join things like this  - - > >https://basc.org.uk/airgunning/

And living in the countryside, as I do - I have gained "PERMISSION" from 2 landowners,  to both - target practice and as a form of payment - help clear pests from their land 😉👍

Rats,crows etc!

quite right - my son and son in law have had "shotties" for quite a few years and there is a plethora of clay shoot locations in this neck of the "woods"! 😉👍

The photo is not entirely accurate as it omits that there is limitations to the magazine, I think it’s 3 cartridges, but I may be wrong. Having a larger magazine would class the gun as an illegal firearm (from my understanding)

3 cartridges is the most a shotgun can hold hold on a Shotgun Certificate, anymore and you need a firearms certificate, not illegal, just tighter controls as mentioned above. I’ve had semi’s in .410 and 12g and they are a nightmare for jaming unless you buy winchesters which are expensive (i make my own normally for the .410, more a hobby which is almost as deep and broad as coin collecting!) also makes you unpopular at the clay range.
 

I have 12g mossberg Pump and 410 bolt for the rabbits where the barrels can be interchanged with a silenced barrel (which is illegal in the US, not UK), good for crows etc when sub-sonic cartidges are used...

out of them all, my kemen over and under is by far the nicest gun to use for the range.

[SilverMike]

For those interested Practical Shotgun is a rising sport in the UK, which is one of the few reasons to own an FAC shotgun (in excess of 3 cartridges), you can also shoot slugs 😄 (one lump of lead) - something like 1200ft/lb of energy!! ... not for me lol, but I have friends who have tried it:

 

[Arganto]

Always wanted a go with slugs!

Witnessed a bit of Practical Shotgun at the Midland game fair a few years ago, very impressive.

I like shooting big bore black powder guns whenever the opportunity arises. Something about the inertia and smacking something with a solid lump of lead is very satisfying! Also keeping your composure when loosing off a 2 bore 'cannon' after everyone else has taken a step or three backwards makes you feel like a boss 😎🤣

[SilverMike]

Never thought, but if anyone ever fancies a go at clay shooting and lives near to north yorkshire drop me a PM, always looking for an excuse to have a look out.

im basc registered and also a club member 👍

In the US you can get silenced barrels with an NFA tax stamp, legally. It is controlled through those regulations requiring fingerprinting, background check, $200, and lots of time to process. I have several NFA items...suppressors and short barrel rifles. Agreed with subsonic ammo (300BLK) in suppressed rifle/shotgun...nice and quiet...hearing safe.😁
