New rules on shipping Guns

[Meriln2008 0]

Anybody know what the new rules are for shipping weapons.

I'm thinking of selling one of mine but looking around some of the shop websites recently they state they can only deliver to your nearest airgun outlet as the transaction has to be done face to face due to some new violent crime law.

I've copied and pasted this from one site.

 

"Please be aware: Due to the new Violent Crime Reduction Bill and subsequent laws, we are not able to ship air weapons directly to you by mail order. We are however able to send the weapon to your nearest firearms registered dealer, who will then complete the transaction face-to-face with you. They may charge for this service.".

 

Would appreciate a little light being shed on the subject.

as far as i'm aware it dosn't apply to private sales.

 

you can send them via royal mail special delivery for around £21

 

the new law ( quite old now) applies to RFD's

 

hope that helps

I think you can still send second hand guns via a courier.
