Hello. I am a Californian but I come over the england and europe every summer. I was wondering what the laws were concerning me being allowed to bring my gun to the uk and play?

To be honest I would think you would still be covered by the violent crimes reduction act (VCRA), so would have to prove yourself a regular skirmisher in the UK. This is based upon the theory that even though you are not a UK citizen you are still covered by our laws when in our country.

 

It would probably be easier if you just rented at whatever site you played at.

Hey Skifyre,

 

If u come to the uk/Europe regularly then it mite be an option to buy one in the uk. U'd never have to worry about having that red tip on the end of ur rifle either :)

 

If prosume u no people in the uk, so let them hold on to it whilst ur back in America.

 

Where abouts u play in the uk? Is it much different to playin it in the US?

Yes, you would have to prove you're a skirmisher... and possibly alert the authorities prior to your flight.

And of course- don't carry in your hand luggage!!!

 

Alternatively, have it posted to a legitimate skirmisher in the UK, as a gift!
