Title: Gun Licence
Post by Pondboy on Dec 6^th, 2006 at 5:12pm

Hi guys,

Does anyone know what one needs to do to obtain a rifle licence ? I'm thinking of knobbling then roasting the odd Sanglier or two once we have settled in. :) PB

Hi. There is a sporting shooting and fishing shop in Tortosa 20 yds from the end of the old road bridge on the cathedral side very close to the memorial in the river. When we get over on a perminant basis hopefully end of April time, I will start my attempt to get a shotgun licence there. Hopefully this thread may give some more clues.
Happy hunting Nick.

I had heard that the shotgun and rifle licences now require written tests that sounded a bit beyond my halfway there Spanish, so I havent pursued the matter. I am also interested in hearing any more information about this.

As a side note, I have also heard that 90% of the local boar are infected with a ringworm type nasty bug and that local hunters have to take a snip of skin to the Farmacia to get it tested to see if the meat is fit for human consumption. I was also told by the same guy that an underground Indian oven can cook all meat safely regardless of diseases, but havent got hungry/bold enough to try it - yet ;-)

Is a UK shotgun licence transferable to Spain,what with us all being in the EU...???
If so,get one in Blighty.

No Ian...dont think they are transferrable...

The office opposite the bar Sport has a sign outside advertising...

"permises para Conducir (driving), y armes (guns I presume).

Might be worth a try.
