What Are the Gun Laws in the UK?

Given the stringent firearm regulations in the UK, there are restrictions on the types of firearms allowed at shooting ranges. Consequently, these shooting experiences operate using training rifles, which, while restricted, are by no means lacking in seriousness or danger, and still offer an authentic experience akin to real-life scenarios.

The UK Gun Laws Are As Follows:

• The Firearms Act 1968 states a person must be assessed and judged not to pose a threat to public safety, and to have “good reason” to own the firearm.

• Firearms ownership is tightly regulated, with individuals requiring a valid firearm certificate or shotgun certificate issued in England and Wales by the Home Office on behalf of the Secretary of State.

• Handguns are largely banned for civilian possession, with exceptions for certain professional users.

• Semi-automatic and pump-action rifles are heavily restricted, primarily for sporting purposes under specific conditions.

• Automatic weapons are prohibited for civilian ownership.

• Background checks, including criminal record checks and interviews, are conducted before issuing a firearms licence.

• Firearms must be securely stored in approved gun cabinets, and ammunition must be stored separately.

• Transporting firearms requires adherence to specific regulations, including secure transportation and appropriate documentation.

• The possession of firearms in public places is strictly controlled, with limited exceptions for authorised individuals such as law enforcement officers.

• Penalties for firearms offenses are severe, reflecting the seriousness with which gun-related crimes are treated in the UK.
