Recommendation
We recommend that the UK Government make the the legislation related to shotgun licences consistent with legislation related to firearms and air weapon licences. We recommend that the UK Government change shotgun licence legislation to require people applying for shotgun licences to demonstrate that they are ‘fit to be entrusted’ with shotguns, and to provide character references from two referees. 175 Q116 176 Q197 177 Q118 178 Q118 179 Q157 24 Firearms licensing regulations in Scotland 4 Medical assessments
