Evening,
After not seeing an elderly friend and neighbour for a couple of days, my father and I unfortunately found he had passed away at home within the above timeframe - fortunately peacefully and in his bed by the way we found him.
After the necessary medical visits the police attended as is compulsary, and I informed them of the whereabouts of my friend's gun cabinet. I also notified them of additional "off ticket" shotguns he'd told me about just recently, and their location on the premises. They were grateful, commenting that it's a common occurence amongst the older generation.
They've said I can enter the "on ticket" guns on my certificate whilst his affairs are put in order, but have recommended the "off ticket" guns be destroyed.
My questions:
Is the destruction of his "off ticket" shotguns a legal requirement?
Can they not be entered on my certificate somehow too?
If so, how would I go about arranging this?
Thanks for any advice.
RIP old friend, keep your powder dry....
