My Air Arms 400 isn't FAC rated an I won't be flying with it or the bottle. Could anyone tell me the laws about the carriage of them in my Cab or the back of the trailer(40 footer not caravan)

Some of the overnight places I stop at are teaming with vermin of ALL types.

Cheers

Depends which country, they all seem to have their own set of rules.

Well it's mainly our own customs I'm worried about.

Ok, in Spain, Germany and France it is illegal to shoot at anything but targets. In Spain a air rifle has to be registered with the Guardia Civil and for that you need a N.I.E ( Numero de Identificacion Exrtanjero ) You can get that number at the Policia Nacional. It takes around 21 to get after you put in the Application. If you have a sound moderator on the rifle. Take it of or risk to look at the world through bars for 5 years, if you get nicked with it in Spain. You are not allowed to take pressurerised containers through the euro tunnel in your vehicle, or guns of any kind for that matter.

2. Firearms must be declared to staff at the Check-in booths, and/or as otherwise directed by signs on the Terminals.

 

3. Firearms and shotguns to which this certificate(s) relates must be stored securely at all times so as to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, access to the guns by unauthorised persons.

 

4. It is the responsibility of the certificate holders in each case to ensure that they comply with the conditions of the possession of those firearms.

Join BASC, they will supply you with all of the relevant information for the countries that you intend to visit. It's worth the membership fee for the insurance alone. BASC may not be perfect, but they are the best in this country for up to date advice.
