Handguns in the UK?
Travelling to London later this year with a friend. We'd love to go to a nice shooting range with some of our personal handguns; nothing large; maybe 9mm and 38 specials. Neither of us can find any info on handgun laws there. Does anyone know of a good website?
Answers:
Since 1997 handguns have been banned in the UK following the Dunblane tradgedy.
Provision is not even made for competition shooters to practise in approved ranges.
I would suggest you leave your guns at home.
A visitor's permit is needed to buy firearms/shotguns or ammunition. See http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/docs/police.
and in particular section 27.
By American standards it is difficult and expensive to take up shooting, and few people have much contact with firearms these days. About 125,000 people have firearm licences and about 600,000 have shotgun licences (some of these will be the same heads counted twice). This in a population of about 60million. http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs/ho.
If you are coming here from abroad then you would not be able to bring your handguns,.or any guns for that matter,.into this country..
Leave you guns at home..
I'm sure there are plenty of things to do when you come to the UK.
Is is absolutlely jammed full of touristy things to do and if you have time..You can visit Wales and SCOTLAND which has beautiful scenery and fantastic, friendly people.
THEN..when you've enjoyed your trip and you go home.get your gun and go to your local shooting range.
John H is right - in any event ; how do you propose to get your guns on the plane? Never heard of terrorism?
Hand guns illegal in the UK.

ARE YOU JOKING??
Since 1997, the ownership, sale and possesion of handguns is totally 100% illegal in the United Kingdom, unless the gun is some kind of antique. You cannot bring handguns to the UK.
And I don't know what 'Boodie' is on about. Even with a visitors permit you can't get HANDguns - they are ALWAYS illegal, permit or not.
They are so illegal that it is going to require an act of parliament to allow people to bring guns to the UK and train with them during the 2012 Olympics.
