More than 80 children hold gun licences in Surrey More than 80 children in Surrey are authorised to use guns, figures show. The Gun Control Network said allowing children to use powerful weapons, such as shotguns, is absurd and warned that weapon security cannot be guaranteed with youngsters. But the British Association of Shooting and Conservation says teaching children how to enjoy the benefits of responsible shooting is to be encouraged. At the end of March, 85 children aged under 18 in Surrey held certificates granting them permission to use shotguns or firearms, according to Home Office data. They were among 12,753 people in the area permitted to use the weapons.
