Guns are required to be locked in a safe located where casual visitors can't see it. Bedroom is fine, attic (just up the stairs from our bedroom in my case) is also fine. Local Police will visit and check arrangements. To refuse a licence, they have to prove why you shouldn't be allowed one. I have a right to own a shotgun.
You have been allowed
To “Use” a shotgun.

Thanks for sharing.
Wow. I am so sorry you are a conquered people.
“I have a right to own a shotgun.”
In my American eyes, you have a privilege to own a shotgun. Not a right.
It is good to see some rights remain.
In Australia, the laws imposed on the Country in 1997 are very strict.
You have to show you have a "need" for a gun. As in England, self-defense (or should I say defence?) is not allowed as a proper need.
In Australia, use of a gun in self-defence is reason to revoke their license to have a gun.
If one cartridge is found that is not locked up, they are *required* to lose their license. (some moderation in this is occurring in some Australian states).
Strange as it may seem, Australian gun law is often *more* restrictive than English gun law. Silencers (moderators,suppressors) are almost impossible to legally own.
