yes..its 17.....i know this because me and SBS got pulled by the law with a gun in the gunbag......the idiot tried to do us for it.....unfortunatly for them im 19 and know the law quite well.....

 

he asked us all sorts of questions like what gun is it...how old it is what power is behind it where did i get it from and all that bollox.....

 

so answering all the questions correctly.....i sent them packing....

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

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...

you cant carry an airgun in a public place until you are 17, you can own one between 14 and 17 but not carry it in a public place, i had my gun took off me nd so did my 19 year old mate because it was fired in a public place and we had pheasants so thats how they knew... so aslong as your legitimate and dont try to bend the law you will be fine.

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.
