A YOUNG person with a shotgun certificate is not allowed unrestricted access to a gun. No one in this country can buy so much an airgun pellet until the age of 18. A young person who holds a shotgun certificate is not allowed to shoot unsupervised.
The easiest way to stay on the right side of the law is to apply for a police shotgun certificate.
A shotgun certificate system allows young people to develop responsibility and safety in the field under supervision.
