oscarsdad Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Disgusting behaviour...sadly an issue which will always happen when muppets can go and buy unregulated air weapons and wander around with them.

I have expressed my displeasure in the video comments. You cant class every person with an airgun as such , if airguns were not easily available the number of people coming into shooting would drop considerably , they are an excellent avenue to shooting sports and the majority of airgun owners use them responsibly , they are not all idiots , you must remember that it is not the gun but the person shooting it , how many people with rimfire rifles exceed their capability and that of the rifle ,you would have to be very naive to think nobody does , I have met plenty of idiots in my years of shooting and hunting and plenty of genuine decent "sportsmen" for want of a better word , if you doubt it look at some of the posts on other forums "its not what you got its how you use it" .

Totally agree and I stared with air rifles like most of us did - but without licensing or regulation and education how do you stop idiots like this? I struggle to fully understand why people are so against licensing - doesnt need to be like a FAC oR SGC but if licensing stops things like this happening then I am all for it.

I am sure you didn't mean that last comment the way it can be read, airguns are in no way suited if that's what you have got. The capability of a rimfire honestly depends on the user and airgun at 12 ft lb is very much more limited. If you viewed a Hare as the biggest Rimfire quarry a sub holds enough power to kill it DRT far beyond the range any could make the shot with head, neck or chest cavity placement. What we are talking here though on this thread is carry enough gun, preferably one that's legal to use Have said it before but an "airgun ticket" might allow a marginally higher limit and 15 ft lb makes your average airgun a lot easier to use on quarry at sensible ranges (munties excluded) Very much agree with you comments on shooter recruitment though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Perhaps like in the motorbike world where we have 'CBT' for scooter riders... When you buy your first Airgun, the dealer who sells it to you should have qualification enough (free training from an association) to give the new buyer a 30 min demo and safety discussion and legal quarry types and ranges etc... Then BOTH parties should sign an agreement which would then be sent to the firearms dept to be kept on record of your ownership of the air gun. That way it's a bit less than a full blown licence, but you are still accountable and traceable. p.s if a private sale, then you should fill out a form and have to have a dealer send it to firearms dept.
