prof_crunchy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hey all, i just joined primarily cos i have two questions about the airsoft laws. Firstly I already own a CZ 75D compact CO2 gun (http://www.gunstar.co.uk/images/Gun-Images/Dan-Wesson-CZ75D-Compact-A7758.jpg), it was bought by my father in 2009 (i was 17 at the time), however he does not have a UKARA membership, (and i don't think he even knows anything about it). So am i right in saying that technically he broke the law in buying that gun, but i am not breaking the law in owning it? Secondly i want to ask about collecting, I like airsoft guns and would like to buy more for the sake of collection, i am not interested in playing skirmishes or anything like that, so i won't be able to get a UKARA number. So i cannot collect (RIF) guns legally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prof_crunchy Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Then the bottom line is, i can't have airsoft guns unless i plan to shoot people with them? The government sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rock-climby-Dave Posted February 27, 2011 Supporters Share Posted February 27, 2011 that is essentially it. If you are looking for a collection that doesnt fire, I'd look into deactivated firearms, but it's going to be more expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshep Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Reenactment is a valid defence under vcra. Just need to be a member of a reenactment group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
