My son lives in the U.K. and I owe him a visit. I'd like to perhaps buy a British shotgun so here's the plan. Apply for a visitors permit that will allow me to buy a shotgun. With that in hand visit a bunch of dealers and if I find what I'm looking for, buy it and take it with me. Maybe find a guide for some pigeon shooting. As soon as I have the gun I can apply for an occasional import permit, Form 6, and when I have that, fly back to the USA with the gun as luggage. Is there a flaw? My son can install a gun safe if necessary or I could store the gun with a local dealer. I lived in England in the late fifties but I believe the Brits have gone quite insane about guns since then. The only reason I want to do this is for nostalgia. I bought a 16 gauge Webley at Thomas Bland,s, near the Strand, in 1958 and murdered a bunch of snipe with it over the following year in Ireland.
