| '''England and Wales'''
| |
| | |
| Air rifles are regarded as firearms when used or carried for illegal activities. See https://basc.org.uk/codes-of-practice/air-rifles-code-of-practice/#:~:text=Always%20shoot%20well%20within%20your,three%20centimetres%20(1%C2%BC%20Inches).
| |
| | |
| Air rifles over a certain bore need a licence and so should '''not''' be given to a non licence holder.
| |
| | |
| If you have a 'no firearms' rule you can reasonably refuse any posts for air rifles.
| |
| | |
| There are age restrictions on both purchasing and carrying air rifles in public places.
| |
| | |
| There are also age restrictions on supervision of young persons with firearms.
| |
| | |
| See [https://www.met.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/fi/af/firearms-licensing/l ]
| |
| | |
| It is recommended that if you do allow a post, that you remove any reference that there may be to shooting live creatures, as otherwise you will be deluged with complaints.
| |
| | |
| It is also illegal to shoot protected species, and domestic animals with the exception of dogs (when chasing farm animals) . Most birds are protected too, see [http://f4bscale.worldonline.co.uk/gunlaw.htm f4bscale.worldonline.co.uk/gunlaw.htm]

| | |
| Groups based in country areas will be much more relaxed about air rifles that those in the cities.
| |
| | |
| '''Scotland'''
| |
| | |
| From 31 December 2016 anyone who wishes to use, possess, purchase or acquire an air weapon in Scotland will need to have a valid Air Weapon Certificate, or a temporary permit such as a Visitor Permit, unless they are otherwise exempt under the legislation.
| |
| | |
| The requirement applies to most air weapons with a muzzle energy exceeding 1 joule (0.74 ft/lbs), and up to 12ft/lbs (16.27 joules) for air rifles or air guns, or up to 6ft/lbs (8.13 joules) for an air pistol. There are some exceptions, for example for paintball guns or airsoft weapons.
