Hi Joanzie, i dont want to piss on your bonfire but you may want to read this if you are only 15

 

You must be 18 years of age or older to buy or acquire an airgun and it is an offence for anyone to give someone under 18 an airgun as a gift.

You must be 18 years of age or older to buy ammunition for an airgun. Your airgun should be contained in a secure case if being carried in a public place.

You must be at least 18 years to carry your airgun in a public place and you must have lawful authority or a reasonable excuse for doing so.

Your airgun is considered ‘loaded’ if there is any form of projectile in the breech or magazine, regardless of whether or not the gun is cocked.

 

Under 18 years of age, you cannot be in possession of an airgun unless you are supervised by someone aged at least 21, or are using it at an approved club. However, from the age of 14, you can shoot your airgun on your own and without adult supervision provided you are on private land and have consent of the landowner. However, until you are 18, you are not allowed to carry your airgun to that land unless you are supervised by a person aged at least 21. In any event, the rules outlined in ‘Carrying Your Airgun’ (above) apply.

 

If you are aged under 14 years old, you can only shoot your airgun under the direct supervision of someone aged 21 years or older on land over which you have permission to shoot. The supervisor is legally responsible for the actions of the person they are supervising and no pellet must go outside the boundaries of the land. You can also use an airgun at Home Office-approved clubs or at a fairground shooting gallery for target shooting.

 

It is an offence to shoot your airgun on land where you have not been given permission to shoot by the occupier, usually the landowner or tenant. You cannot shoot on ‘common’ land.

You cannot shoot your airgun within 15 metres of the centre of a public highway if, in doing so, you are causing a nuisance or endangering the public.

 

It is an offence if you fire your pellets so that they land outside the boundary of the property where you have a right to shoot.

 

It is a serious offence to kill or injure any bird or protected animal with an airgun unless you are an ‘authorised’ person – i.e. you have proper shooting permission. Provided you are, the Secretary of State automatically issues you with a general ‘open’ licence every year for this purpose.

nice typing !!! Theres always someone to spoil it!!!! these little F*****s that cannot be trusted with air rifles spoil it for every1. Remember you may always lend a gun so get someone like a dad or mam to buy it and just lend it every time you go out
