ID when buying

I was over at a popular gun shop near Doncaster (name withheld) to buy a silencer, weekend before last.

Old guy on the Airguns section just asked me to put my details in his book, without looking at or asking for any ID

I could have put Mickey Mouse of Disneyland cos he didn't check!

If I'd wanted to remain anonymous I'd have paid cash & made up some garbage personal details.

Yes, I'm clearly well over the age to make the purchase & you can't do much damage with a silencer on it's own, but it makes you wonder.

I've mad online purchases before the ban & there was probably more info' kept on me then via credit card details & mailing instructions, than there is now.

Bought a Webley Junior today from a gunshop, and got caught out by needing some proof of identification

 

luckily i had my SGC in the motor

 

be warned be prepared

 

the guy in the shop said he'd had loads of people caught out by the same

What's that - he didn't think you could pass for 17?

Its 18 now. So even though you can drive to the shop, you can't buy at 17.
