Air Gun Licensing in Scotland?

Post by GonnePhishin »

Just thought it was interesting. Gee, little Ralphie would have had to first show his license.....

Nath, or Gamekeeper, does England already do this or is Scotland just being the trailblazer on this?

I think I need form a .org that advocates the reintroduction of Wolves into Scotland.

It worked in the US, maybe I can give the Scots a justification for owning guns... and get a bunch of Scot Socialists eaten too...

As much as I love the Scots, their politics are even more insane than England's.
It is mostly because of Scottish politicians that we lost the right to own handguns.
Here in England and Wales any one over 18 can buy an air rifle as long as it only puts out 12 foot pounds, an air pistol can only have 6 pounds of muzzle energy. More powerful air rifles have to be on a firearm certicate, which are difficult to get, air pistols over 6 ft pounds are illegal.
If Wolves were reintroduced to Scotland, I would propose that they are let free in the Parliament building first.. :wink:
