How do you get a gun license

You can get a shot gun license. But nearly all other firearms are forbidden unless you have a serious reason to own one and I seriously doubt you have reason to do so.
If someone was to break into your home and you used a shot gun you could find yourself in jail for attempted murder.

If you want to own a gun 'for collection and if someone was to break into your house' then I don't think you should have one quite frankly.

You can't own pistols in the UK, well you can if you are in a shooting club but pistols have to be kept locked up in the club. Hell the army aren't even issued with pistols anymore because it's to easy to suddenly spin and shoot without thinking.

Eh, what?

Check your facts, you're talking out of your backside.

Spin and shoot without thinking... Have you been watching Ultimate Force or something?

No, my mate is in the army and he was told they were no longer issued as standard due to civilian casulties, with a pistol it was a smaller turning radius and people in buildings were hearing noises spinning and shooting, and killing civilians, where as the l85 has a longer barrel, takes you that tiny bit longer to turn, but your head has already spun and seen it is a child or something before the gun barrel has caught up.

If you want to stop people breaking into your house, there is a *really* prickly plant you can get. We had it up the wall of our old house, and even the guy who came to hack it off, wearing all the protective gear, still got pricked by it, and had a hard time taking any of it off. I can't remember the name of the plant, but I can find out for you. But seriously, *no-one* messes with this plant. And the best bit? If someone enters your property (eg climbing over the garden fence) and falls on this plant (it's *really* prickly, whatever clothes you're wearing), they can't sue you/complain whatsoever. Not your fault if they get hurt, it's perfectly reasonably to have prickly plants on your own property. Whereas a gun might get you into trouble.
