Know the law

The law on airguns, and on firearms in general, is complicated and can be difficult to understand.

If you are not sure whether you have a gun which needs a licence, or whether what you are doing is legal, you should speak to a solicitor or to the licensing department of your local police.

The Home Office has produced a leaflet which gives more information about the law on airguns. If you want to know more about the law on airguns, you can find out at the Home Office website.
