#REDIRECT [[Guns and replicas#Air rifles]]
 
Air rifles are regarded as firearms when used or carried for illegal activities. See [http://www.youngmans.com/acatalog/law.html www.youngmans.com/acatalog/law.html]
 
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  [http://www.met.police.uk/firearms_licensing/air_weapons.html www.met.police.uk/firearms_licensing/air_weapons.html ] 
 
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.
