chimp 299 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Airgun storage and safe keeping in the home. Since air rifles producing less than 12 foot pounds muzzle energy, and air pistols producing less than 6 foot pounds of energy are not included in the firearms licensing procedures, the Firearms Acts are silent on storage requirements for such guns. However, since 10th February 2011, there is a requirement under the Crime and Security Act 2010 that airgun owners must "take reasonable precautions to stop unauthorised access to their airguns by people under the age of 18." The law does not specify what constitutes "reasonable precautions" and guidance to the police says that each individual case will be dealt with on its merits and that, "it is not possible to be prescriptive" about exact security provisions.

eddiej35 10 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I am also good freinds with Allan and have this post running on other boards. The person who we think , or otherwise know who took it but cant prove it was a good freind of Allans for many years. He knew there was a spare key lying about incase of emergency ( no longer a spare just incase you think about casing the home ) and he knew where the rifle was. Nothing els was stolen from the house so it was planned . As kevin says any info will be appreciated . Thanks Eddie. Quote Link to post

Tyla 3,179 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Some of you people come across as such pompous twats, the man is asking for you to let him know if you are offered a stolen gun. At no stage did he ask for an assessment of his home security. Lets also bear in mind that it is an airgun and therefore not covered by any laws on storage other than the very general ones posted above. Unless you have been offered the gun or want to sympathise with a fellow sportsman who has been robbed why reply? Do you honestly have nothing better to do than be smug over the internet?

Tyla well said lets not let this forum get like others, if you wish to knock peoples misfortunes join the bbs. I do hope Alan get the information he needs and get his rifle back and the person who stole the rifle get what he/she deserves. Quote Link to post
