uk gun laws


 
 
The laws for owning air rifles and there usage can be found on The British association for shooting & conservation (BASC) website: http://basc.org.uk/airgunning/basc-air-rifle-code-of-practice/

The main rules for using an air rifle is not to point the gun in a direction that could be dangerous if its loaded or not. following this rules stops any accidental vandalism like breakages and stops people getting hurt.

Air rifles are classified as firearms meaning there are at least 38 offences if the laws are not followed. Although they are classed as firearms if the gun is under 12ft/lb in power you do not need a firearms certificate.

Being 18 means that there are no restrictions on buying, using  or owning a legal air rifle. also shooting an air rifle is allowed anywhere as long as you have permission from the land owner.
