Transporting a shotgun in a 997

nineoneone said:
A bit off-topic, but being a bit of a wrinklie I can remember going to my local gunshop at age 16 and buying a shotgun and ammo and taking it home on the bus!. All quite legal in those days as there was no requirement for a licence for shotguns.

:floor: OMG - can you imagine the mayhem nowaday's.....sky TV/news at ten, 20 x cops(all with black shiney boots on your head), rabbid police dogs wanting to eat you and police revolvers in your mouth, ears and
*rse!

At least the driver would not charge you anything when you stepped on his No9 bus now(unlike the past).

Maybe it's ok to leave certain shotgun shells sitting right next to certain weapons during transport in a car but for some weapons(inc shotguns) they appear to be required to be kept apart.

There is a distance for keeping certain shotguns and ammo apart which my friend told me while ago was about 5 or 6 feet.

This may be of interest:

"a 'Section 1' firearm is any shotgun with a barrel shorter than 24" or a semi-auto or pump-action gun with the capacity to hold more than two shells in the magazine, or any shotgun with a detachable magazine. Air rifles which exceed the 12ft/lb power output limit are considered 'Section 1' firearms.

Security for 'Section 1' firearms is similar to that for shotguns except that the police are more likely to insist on a monitored alarm and they also require ammunition to be locked securely (ideally in a separate section from the rifles).

When travelling with firearms, do not leave them unattended and whilst travelling, bolts, magazines and ammunition should be stowed separately from the rifle. Trigger locks and cable ties are also a wise precaution."

A normal shotgun is not a section 1 firearm (ignoring those exceptional cases above) so the stowed separately requirement above does not apply.

I am soon to be getting my first shotgun, a Beretta Silver Pigeon with 30" barrels. Does anyone know if when 'broken' or in it's plastic case, it will fit in the 997 'boot'?
