Hi John, Criteria for handguns. You have to be a member Of a gun club and be an active member, in training and competitions. To get license of a .22lr hand gun, at least 6 month membership And you have to prove your skills in gun safety and shooting. You have to get at least 46p out of 50 shooting at 25 meters on a Pistol target. You have 5 shoots in the gun. And you shoot with one hand. You need to shoot three 46:ers to get a license. To get a 9 mm .38 or .45, at least 1 year membership and get at least 43p out of 50. Same criteria as the .22lr. You have to bay a .22lr first. You have to store all guns in a weapon cabinet. The license for handguns only last 5 years then you Have to renew them. I hope that it made some sense. My English skills are not the best. Best regards, Ronny. I am trying to attach a picture on a pistol target,
