    It's only a 7-shot and I wanted a 10-shot, but I'm gonna get this gun for now and then maybe in the future I'll trade it for a Ruger 10-shot revolver.
    I thought all hand guns were band over here after the Dunblane shooting? I don’t have and gun licence but my best friend has shotgun (relatively easy to get) and a .22 rimfire rifle (a lot more difficult to get). I have been out shooting with him a few times. I have an air rifle in .22 extremely tame by the rest of the worlds standards, especially as it’s restricted to 12 foot pounds.

    If you search the internet about the gun laws for Northern Ireland, they make it sound like only famous people and politicians can get a handgun -- they must satisfy the police requirement that their life is under threat. But then you actually go to a gun club and it turns out that everyone has one, and they can bring them home too.

    I think though, when applying for a firearms certificate over here, a few people in the club have to vouch for you. Plus you need to have a safe in your car and also in your house. You can never have a loaded gun apart from at the gun range -- in fact you can't even have a loaded magazine in your house or in your car.

    A friend of mine has guns at home in Northern Ireland, and he keeps the guns and the ammo in two separate safes.

    Like i say I’m no expert my friend is a lot more clued up then me, plus Northern Ireland might have different laws (and for some reason i thought they would be stricter)

    I just thought hand guns were limited to single shot and had to be kept at the gun club, i do know some people still use flintlocks at gun clubs over here.

    I know my friend can keep the .22 ammo in the same safe but it needs to be in a separate locked box in the gun safe. Plus the amount of ammo you can keep at home is heavily restricted.

    Handguns are legal in Northern Ireland for sporting and even self defence purposes(granted only a couple thousand people have this). They are also legal in England, Wales and Scotland under a section 7(although very hard to get).
