    Does anyone have an idea of how many shotgun licences are held in the UK and also approximately how many shotguns there are?
    It's a strange question but there's some-one on a woodlands forum who is spouting nonsense and he is being accepted as the font of all wisdom
    It was because of his twaddle that I asked about air pistols operating at over 6ft/lbs

    Nobody has a clue about how many shotguns are actually out there. When the registration laws came in, they reckon at least 2 million semi-autos & Pump actions "disappeared".
