its difrent if your under 18 though

its difrent if your under 18 though

 

What's different?

 

If you mean the law regarding having an airgun in a public place, and shooting unsupervised, then yes you're right.

 

If you're older than 14 but younger than 18, then you may borrow but not own by way of gifting, or purchase an airgun, or ammunition for an airgun.

 

Again, if you're over 14, you are allowed to shoot unsupervised over land which you have permission to shoot on. Be careful that no pellet leaves the permission, as this is an offence.

 

The main limiting factor is that you cannot carry an air rifle in a public place under the age of 18 years, unless you are supervised by an adult over 21 years of age. This would mean that unless you could cross directly from your home to the place you intend to shoot without crossing a "public place" then you will need to be accompanied by an adult.

 

As for insurance, it's a good idea for any age to have. It's not legally required, but a lot of people will look more kindly upon your request for permission if you can prove that you're a responsible person and practice safe shooting. Nothing says this better than being insured!

Something different about what? Not sure what you mean!

There are the three questions on the BASA site, one of which is are you under 18, along with have you been convicted of a criminal offence and I think have you ever been refused insurance cover. You had to answer No to all before you could sign up, but there was a phone number should you answer yes to one of them. I'd call that number and tell them your under 18.
