Air Rifles Carriage, Use & Storage

[vinylstatistics 0]

Grateful for advice - i am considering introducing my son to hunting, starting with air rifles but wanted to know what guidance existed witrh regards to storage and carriage of weapons. If there are any limitations on storage can i ask a third party to look after the rifle for me? I am aware of the restrictions for shooting outside, are there any specific guidelines on firing indoors beyond purpose built ranges? Appreciate this is probably old hat to most members but grateful for any advice

I moved this from the FAQ's to the main forum, as you'll probably get more of a response.

carriage in a gun slip/case not loaded not cocked pellets kept seperate from the air rifle its self if you are driving always put it in the boot. storage i keep mine in a gun safe as i have a toddler (dont want her ruining my s410 lol)

as for asking a friend to store it there is no law against it but ultimately i would say you should take full responsibility for your rifle.

 

remember thats my opinion and mine only its not the law others may/will say different

 

good luck to you and ur lad
