We are pleased to announce that we are now in partnership with Firearms Medicals, who provide medical reports for those applying for UK firearms and shotgun certificates. If you are a Country Cover Club Member, you can now benefit from a significant saving on their services.

As part of the firearms licensing process in the UK, individuals are required to undergo specific medical assessments to ensure they are fit and healthy to possess and use firearms.

Firearms Medicals is dedicated to facilitating this process by offering comprehensive medical evaluations for shotgun and firearms licenses. What is even better, is that as part of our Club, you benefit from a discount, making responsible firearm ownership more accessible (and quicker) than ever! 

Firearms play a significant role in various aspects of British life, from sports shooting to rural pest control. To strike a balance between personal freedom and public safety, the UK has established stringent regulations surrounding firearm ownership. One key component of these regulations is the requirement for individuals to undergo medical evaluations to assess their physical and mental fitness for firearm ownership.

Firearms Medicals operate under the leadership of a seasoned Medicolegal GP who boasts over 20 years of experience as an avid shooter. Their team of qualified medical professionals understand the importance of thorough evaluations in maintaining the delicate balance between personal rights and public safety. 

All you need to get started is to visit their website; www.firearmsmedicals.co.uk, where you can apply online or download the application and consent forms. Once they have received your medical records and completed the medical form, they will send you a copy as well as your local firearms licencing unit. They also provide updates when your medical reaches the next step in the process*. If you are a Country Cover Club Member, you just need to mention your C³ membership number when you contact them, and they will apply a £7 reduction to the cost of your medical report.
