Can you have guns in England?

Answer 1

You can't own a gun without a licence and the licence process is very strict and purposely designed to be a headache. You have to be 18 and you have to prove that you can be responsible, that you are using the gun for lawful sporting purposes and that you are not suffering from mental illness.

Answer 2

You can obtain a gun with a licence if it can be used for sporting purposes. The process to obtain a licence is a headache where you must prove that you are a British citizen, you are responsible, using the gun lawfully and are not suffering from mental illness or attempting to conceal a criminal record. The police themselves don't usually carry guns, except in Northern Ireland or if they need to respond to a firearms incident.

Answer 3

Bodyguards of royalty, armed police and the armed forces.

Answer 4

YES.However

All guns need licences which are not easily obtained.
