Thank you very much.Welcome aboard.
Give it a day or two and I'm sure you will get information on everything there is to know about hunting in Georgia, and the rest of the U.S. for that matter. We look forward also to hearing about hunting in the U.K. and how that compares.
Many of us think that acquiring firearms in the U.K. for whatever purpose, self protection, hunting, sport etc. is more trouble than it's worth. Maybe you can enlighten us.
I look forward learning alot, and seeing if what i already know can line up here
Acquiring fire arms in the UK can be a pain.
Firstly all firearms licences are done through the police in your county.
Secondly handguns…… you can get handguns as a civilian for
1) slaughtering livestock (limited to 3 round capacity)
2) certain .22 competitive pistols
Shotguns and hunting rifles:
You have to show written permission from land owners proving that you have the right to be on the land and that the land is deemed fit up to a certain calibre limit.
Background check and medical certification and a home/safe check.
You can only have exactly what you ask for so a specific caliber, gun type and a limited amount of rounds. So i cant just go and buy as many guns as i like.
I hope that makes some kind of sense and wasnt too much gibberish?
