Answer 1 :
I tried to understand the ins and out of UK gun laws a while ago. I had to sit down and wait for the head ache to disappear. I'm going to stick to simpler problems, like DNA triptase decoding, Theoretical mathematics and the religious implications of Spongebob Squarepants.
Answer 2 :
Yes The countersignatory must be one of the class of persons identified in Part D on the back of the application form. The term 'person of similar standing' include persons whose names can be found in a public book of reference including members of professional bodies (such as architects, accountants, surveyors). Persons who hold, or have held, a regular commission in Her Majesty's Forces or who are qualified teachers in recognised schools. An applicant's employer may also sign if it is a well established business and the applicant is well known to him. Members of your immediate family, registered firearm dealers, serving police officers and police employees cannot act as countersignatories. If the ghost can not understand a simple form such as our shotgun certificate then he has no chance with the stuff he lists. Good luck with your application.
Answer 3 :
Unless he/she is known to the police as being untrustworthy!
