Shotguns in the UK? What CAN you own?

[Music] hi guys UK guns here so uh in this video I'm going to be giving you a bit of an overview of shotguns in the UK and the different types of shotgun that you can own in the UK um I'll also talk a little bit about the sorts of sports that involveed shotguns in the UK but I won't get too much into that um and obviously I don't have every type of shotgun that you can own uh I don't have every caliber those kinds of things I'll talk about some of the other different types but there's a there's a va riety of shotguns I've got here in front of me that give a pretty good overview of the types of shotguns you can own in the UK um I'll also briefly talk about licensing most of these shotguns are covered by a section two shotgun certificate um but there is also some sorts of shotguns that fall onto a section one firearm certificate now I won't get too buried into that because uh I plan to do a whole another video on licensing it's been on the to-do list for well over a year but um I will get around to it at some point and I'll talk but we will touch on it in this video so uh first off then that's where we'll start shotgun certificates in the UK so a shotgun certificate essentially is a license it's not officially called a license it's shotgun certificate uh but often referred to as a license and that's what gives you permission to acquire shotguns in the UK and that comes under section two of the Firearms Act 1968 I won't get too much into the law it's very boring
