Are you allowed to carry that gun to the grocery store?
No, unless I apply for CC, which is rare in the UK, we own guns for sport primarily rather than self defence. But I was responding to a misstatement about the UK allowing personal possession of ammo and weapons. There is a myth in the US that the UK gun owners have to keep their guns in some local club or a storage unit outside the hime, NOT TRUE. My gun cabinet is feet away from me as I type this.
