Vivi Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hi Everyone can anyone tell me please what are the regulations on taking UK licensed shotguns in to France when you are moving permanently to live in France which we hope to do about June.

Bluebells Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Suggest you talk to the Firearms Licensing Authority who issued your SGC but I expect you will need a European Fireams Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 hiya - when we came to France in 2002 in our motor home, I had my shotgun under the bed with around 1000 rounds in the wardrobe! Not stricktly legal I think...... It was also a time of high alert, BSE etc etc - we had a fridge full of bacon and cheddar. No one stopped us either end. I had the gun cabinet sent over with the rest of our personal belongings when we moved into our house.We also informed local police in UK that we were going / gone and they requested we send the certificate back to them. As I am aware you can own a shotgun, but cannot buy ammo for it or go hunting... thats next on my to do list - hunting permit!Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
