Hi
Just as a way of introduction, i've just this year started centre fire and rim fire, and gaining as much experience as possible before i apply for my firearms licence here in the UK. I've been shooting air rifles for years, but have got the bug for longer range target shooting.
Hoping to pick your brains for advice etc
Cheers
Dirk

Welcome! You can learn so much on this forum. How difficult is it to obtain the firearm license in the UK?

Hi
It's quite a long process, as you need to have a justifiable reason why you want to own guns. Then it's a doctors letter, 2 referees and police visit to ensure they have correct storage etc. Some police forces are quicker in this process than others some it can be 4 -6 weeks other 12 months +

Welcome from Tampa Bay, FL! We are, of course, all interested in how things work (or don't) in the UK. What does it take to develop an "inventory" of weapons and how big can it grow?

Interesting, I had heard it was quite the process.
