mickey finn   12 #15 Posted July 24, 2015 I suggest you familiarise yourself with gun law in the UK. ---------- Post added 24-07-2015 at 21:54 ----------   Why? Shooting in a built up area is not against the law, as long as you do shoot WITHIN the boundaries of the law.  There were probably several offences committed here but shooting in a built up area is not one of them.  I have a few grand tied up in airguns, the last thing I want is some idiot attracting this sort of attention.

stressconsul   10 #16 Posted July 24, 2015 A friend was shot with an air rifle - a long time ago now - she was new to this country and shot in the eye. Luckily, she wore sturdy glasses. She was in hospital for a week. Had she not worn glasses she would have lost an eye at 19 years of age. It was hardly treated as a crime at the time - I really don't understand why these things are legal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's never a good thing for the sport of shooting when people perpetuate misinformation about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Timeh   10 #21 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I want to say thank you to the people who have made constructive posts and a great big Jog on to the people who just cant help but nit pick and try to cause an argument. Some of you should grow up, or get a life, or both. Edited July 25, 2015 by Timeh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
