Guest gav d Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 you cant buy an airgun untill your 17, you can own one between the ages of 14 and 17 but must be 17 to carry one in a public place and if they stop you, make a good reason why your walking about with it etc.. just look up the gun laws on the internet and find out, best way to do it mate Quote Link to post

ChrisJones 7,975 Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Might be worth reading these codes of practice from BASC... Link To BASC's Air Rifle Codes Of Practice Has some handy information for those that aren't sure. The authorities are clamping down on shooting and this information will keep you on the right side of them... Quote Link to post

Guest whippet Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'd like to add that you can't just carry a gun around in a public place, it has to be in a gunbag. And even then you better had have some damn good proof that you actually needed to carry it in a public place. Quote Link to post
