    Some tips needed!

    I am based in the UK but return back to Ireland at least twice a month and still have my guns in Ireland and gun club membership, there is always someone in the house so security is fine, I want to apply for a UK shotgun cert. and was wondering would the UK police contact the Gardai which could in turn create problems for me as I'm not a full time resident.

    Could or would an European licence work for you? Just make the application when your back in Ireland.

    Looks like you'll have to enjoy your firearms when your back home in Ireland.
