    is it possible for a licenced gun holder to borrow/have use of another persons gun with there consent,eg.while your shotgun is at gun smiths could you borrow say your faters licenced shotgun with his consent and be covered if stopped by gaurds

    Mr Gripp - The only thing you'd be covered with would be brown and smelly, and waaaaaay over your head. :D

    Both of you would be prosecuted if caught:

    - you for having a firearm without a licence for it

    - your dad for giving you the gun to use

    in all probability the guns would be seized - his and yours - and both of you would more than likely never again get a licence.

    You are thinking of a training license which would allow the other person to carry and use the gun, but it's still a license. Granted €40 not €80, but you still have to apply for one through the same channels.

    Two people can be licenced on the same firearm but you both need to apply for a licence. you could get a licence for your fathers shotgun so you can use it when you want. But you need a licence the same as your own guns.
