Can’t the British still own shotguns? I’d rather have a shotgun, than nothing.

The shotguns are 'owned' by special license and usually kept in a vault at a private club. I believe that a few farmers
are allowed single shot or double barrel shotguns provided they show a need to deter predators to livestock/cattle.

I'm working from memory only on this.

I believe Brits can TECHNICALLY own shotguns, however the use of one is ALWAYS viciously prosecuted and the homeowner is jailed for years, even for resistance inside the home to multiple knife bearing Home Invasion Perps, while the perps get diversion programs.

They can’t even own pepper spray to defend themselves. I checked a UK police website awhile back, and firearms and pepper sprays were both big no-no’s.

The site did recommend whistles. You want to defend yourself against a maniac charging at you with a knife? Pull out a whistle.

I’m sure the IRA is still more than happy to help out in that regard.

No, unless you’re a hunter. Then you get a two round magazine.

“Section 2 firearms are shotguns with a maximum magazine capacity of two cartridges, excluding those in the chamber,”

They voted their guns away to not be like those redneck Yanks.

You don’t need as much range time with a shotgun.
