Firearms Mr. Wm. Ross asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many licensed guns there were in Scotland as at 31st December 1974; and how many of these were bullet firing. Mr. William Ross I regret that this information is not available in the form requested. On 31st December 1974 there were in force in Scotland 83,435 shotgun certificates and 38,725 firearms certificates. Both types of certificate may relate to more than one weapon.
