Gun Destruction Services at Gun-Tec

​

In the UK, with a few notable exceptions, all firearms must be held on a licence, either through a five-year firearm certificate or a shotgun certificate. To obtain these certificates, the police must ensure the applicant has a valid reason to own each item and that they pose no risk to public safety or peace.​

​

Why Choose Gun Destruction?

​​

There are many reasons someone might choose to have their gun destroyed:

​​​

• Disposing of inherited firearms that are unwanted.

• Eliminating firearms that have been forgotten or left in storage.

• Disposing of Broken firearms ​
