I just picked up the September issue of Shooting Gazette at the local B&N.
In a column a guy asks a question concerning an upcoming Hammer Gun event for their group. In it the guy states that a friend has a very old hammer gun that is an antique and "NOT ON HIS SHOTGUN CERTIFICATE" and he wants to shoot the gun at this event. The advise that was given blew me away. Seems the answer was that if the guy shoots the old hammer gun it is no longer consider as a "Antique and Curiosity" and the guy would be serious trouble and face a criminal offence and could loose his certificate. The guy answering goes on to tell him his friend should notify the police and have it added to his certificate. Now the gun here in question must be very old and it is Black Powder proofed. The other guys shooting in the event has their guns all registered on their Shotgun Certificate.
I knew GB had some strict gun laws but to this extent where a guy can't even enjoy shooting his old hammer gun.
