That surprises me (but only kind of )....and useful to know as I hope to visit the bright lights of the mainland at some point and I will have a spear gun onboard......an axe, a machete and I quite fancy a Cutlass (honestly ).

It is nearly impossible to obtain a firearm legally in the UK,if i deemed it nessesary to obtain a firearm for longterm cruising i would have to buy one elsewhere.
We are still ok on the gun thing down here. Can get heavy calibre machine guns with the right paperwork. Not sure about popping in to buy enroute - but no reason why not for export with the right paperwork. I probably won't bother myself, but each to their own.
