I was reminded of the old Savage Camper's Companion. IIRC it came in various combinations of .22, 30-30 or 30-06 over 410, 20 or 12 gauge.
looks great - it'll be for vermin when the self sufficient plan finally bares fruit
still stuck working and living in and around Londson so it wont be for a while...
wondering if i can get it under a target ticket to start with (going to need to get good) and switch the reason for ownership later?
I have a question concerning the FAC. First let me set up a hypothetical situation. Suppose someone doesn't have an absolutely permanent address. I'm not talking about the homeless or a true nomad either. What I mean is someone (a legal UK citizen) whose residence is a boat or vessel (one that's properly registered in the UK) Now suppose that said boat/vessel is normally berthed (whether permanently or semi-permanently) at a pier or dock within the UK and their normal address is such and such slip at said pier. Now further suppose that they are able to procure and install the required gun safe aboard said vessel. My question is, would they qualify for a FAC or would their lifestyle preclude it? Assuming of course they meet all other requirements.
The answer you are looking for will depend on the location being inspected by the local FAI or Room 20 (Etc.) Depending on what you require and why....
Different locations and different situations will get different answers... And Different Security Requirements and Security Reviews......
A house boat on the Thames in Surrey and a Canal Boat in the centre of Manchester for example.......
Expect any mobile NFA to have more stringent requirements than any "Built residence".
I would apply for an FAC or a SGC but:
- I live in rented accommodation making the security requirement's problematic. When I spoke to me my local FEO he "prefers" if you meet FAC level security even for SGCs. I don't know if that means he'll find a reason to refuse your application....
- I don't know anyone of "good standing" who could act as a reference who is not related to me by blood or marriage
- There are relatively few shooting clubs near me and the ones that there are seem extremely insular.
- They will not issue FACs for the reason I would like to apply for one, and being an honest man I object to lying.
- I hate paperwork, especially government-issue paperwork.
I’m told it's better to get a shotgun licence then apply for FAC at a later date?
Can you shoot pigeon and rabbit with a shotgun and still have enough usable meat and is it as clean a kill at a single shot to the head since I presume being closer range than a rimfire they wouldn’t be much bunny or rabbit left and you could end up just maiming it?
