mimic Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=528&id=1905362005 Tell me this isnt happening banning sale of airguns without FAC in 2 weeks? Please tell me i got this wrong!! "We are currently considering limiting air-gun sales in the UK to firearms dealers registered by the police, following discussions between Cathy Jamieson and the Home Office," he said. ARGGGGGGGG NO NO NO If i understand this correctly we need to starting Hoarding guns right now if there,s a gun you want you had better get it within the next week!

dunganick Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The new law would impose strict curbs on air-gun retailers, will only effect the retailers or this is my understanding "It is expected that firearms dealers will be the only retailers who will satisfy the tough new conditions, effectively stopping air-guns from being sold in more mainstream shops. There is also the possibility that the government might introduce a "cooling off" period, forcing customers to wait 24 hours or more between purchase and the handover of any weapon.

mimic Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 (edited) I hope to hell you are right! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4225190.stm I have a nasty feeling we will be needing permits to keep our guns pritty soon Quote: changes would signal a major new approach by the government and bring the first major crackdown on the use of air weapons.

Devilishdave Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Cooling off period what a joke!! If I wanted to hurt a person I would choose cricket bat, base ball bat golf clubs etc all before thinking about buying a legal limit air rifle.

1 of 5 Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 get an FAC once youve got it, its more difficult for them to take it away. Not necessarily. Once you've got a FAC they know who you are, where you are and what guns you own so they know where to go, who to see and what to collect when the time comes. Having a FAC didn't help self loading centrefire users or pistol shooters recently. It just made the Polices job easier in rounding them up.

Jeff_Walker Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 relax , in N.Ireland there are stricter laws for airguns, all you need to do is get an FAC, which is easy if its only for an airgun. The sole purpose is simply to stop the terrorists getting weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
