Hunting permits. All you need are other gun owners to approve

or Marksmanship

Competition pistols are different.

Competition shooting.

Though.

Firearms like shotguns and rifles which are used for hunting can be gained kinda easily

but stuff like a handgun not so much

You can own most any gun in the UK as well.

@Tea I'll headbutt em until they're in your throat

I guess

you require a *good* reason from the police

But what is your reason behind wanting a pistol?

i cant evem get hunting gun 😂

Protection?

to shoot it

duh

For fun

lol

yeah but the 'good reason' doesn't have to be business.

Be bad ass0

or protection.

Yeah, but that good reason is required

@JPax you do need a license/permit regardless

Such as a sport or owning land

And in scotland it's quite expensive to own and keep a shotgun

Even for hunting

those are some nice legs @FUCK fire I just finished.

Wut

Okay, you need to have a personal reason to have a gun, you need to inform and apply at the local police station for a loicence, and then GUN. The personal reason has to be anything above 'I jus wun gun'. So if you wan't to shoot it at targets, that's marksmanship.

That is to say, that as I said before, it is fairly easy to get a gun in the Uk so long as you are not a basketcase.

Legally.

which is declined nearly all the time

It's declined a lot @JPax

It needs to be considered viable by the police, otherwise they'll just yeet your request

I mean a lot.

because a simple, I want it for learning to shoot a pistol, is not a valid reason

It has to be a solid fucking reason.

Like, um, competition shooting?

@Hatter go to a gun range

No

Recreational.
