Gun licenses arn't that hard to get Micky - though the actual laws have been amended so many time's they make no sense at all. As far as I understand it you just need to take proof of purchase of a UK approved gun cabinet, two references, £50, four passport photos and some ID to a police station and apply. Once you fill out the form, which asks you your reasons for wanting a license etc, then as long as you don't have a criminal record an officer will visit your home (usually within 28 days) before approving your license.I've been thinking about getting into shotguns myself, I love claypigeon shooting but it's an expensive habit unfortunately and i just cant afford it right now so will have to make do with heading down there with a couple of my mates who shoot and using their guns. There's still a gunshop operating near me so i'm suprised Kent has completely lost it's gunshops, i would have expected the rural community around that area to keep them going!

What would be considered good reasons for wanting a license,and what's considred insufficient reason?

We're still limited to shotguns and air rifles

Are there any near us?

And a .223 is .22 caliber if I'm not mistaken.
