air gun laws

[SEAN3513 7]

so basiclay he can shoot on his permision with his dads gun aslong as some one over 21 drops him off there and picks him up.

 

he can use his own gun as long as its looked after by someone over the age of 18, whilst not in use.

Am i allowed to shoot on my permission unsupervised? but it says on basc i am

And

Am i allowed to carry a airgun in public if it is in a gun bag? well thats clearly no..

 

im confused

It is confusing, I know but you'll get the hang of it. Law isn't the easiest thing to understand which is why groups like BASC will paraphrase things and post things on their websites for 'normal' people to follow.

 

YES. You are allowed to shoot on your permission, unsupervised. However you are not allowed carry a rifle outside, the boundaries of your permission/home, unless you're supervised by someone over 21.

 

I'll try and make it a little simpler with this visual aid...

 

 

The white areas are your permission and the areas you can shoot unsupervised. Please note that if you are close to the borders of your permission your pellets are not allowed to leave the boundaries of your permission. (In this case pellets cannot leave the black lines.)

 

The green areas are the places you need to be supervised, by someone over 21. This could mean walking too and from your permission or getting a lift in a car. Also you cannot shoot your rifle anywhere in the green areas.

 

Also it's worth noting that you're not allowed to own an air rifle, or receive one as a gift, until you're 18. So for the purposes of this thread it's taken for granted that you borrowed the rifle from an adult and that you return it to them after you've finished using it.

 

Hope that helps?
