Suffolk shooter Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Considering the amount of mis-use of Air rifles and to a lesser extent Shotguns, do you think that the current age limits should indeed be raised to a minimum age of say 21 with the person(s) in question having to belong to a club or shoot in order to get processed? There could be safety test's and mentoring similar to some wildfowling/stalking clubs? After all you have to pass a test to drive and that can be just as dangerous in the wrong hands.

Graham M Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Legal driving age -------------------------------17 Legal drinking age -----------------------------18 Legal marriage age ----------------------------16 Legal voting age--------------------------------18 Legal age to be Sodomized ----------16 I mean, let’s face it, if you can do all of the above at those ages why would anyone think it best to allow people to become more adult (21) in order to own an air rifle.

njc110381 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 Why bother? It's only another control on people like you and me that follow the rules. Kids will still mess round with them and it will have no effect but to hinder some of our great young shots that are perfectly safe. Just come down hard on the ones that break the current laws, and things will soon improve. All this slapped wrist **** is pathetic, and things will keep getting worse until something is changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
