mart028 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 New legislation has been introduced by the Government which will make it an offence to fail to properly secure airguns in order to prevent them falling into the hands of children. From 10th February 2011, owners will be liable for a fine of up to £1,000 if they do not take reasonable precautions to stop unauthorised access to their airgun by people under 18. Hope this information helps Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
