What is the legality on these?

Im probably being paranoid but last night at 1.45 a low loader lorry stopped out side my house for a couple of mins (no reason for this to happen at all)

i rejigged everything today so everything of value is inside, however im thinking about getting a starter pistol to scare any revisits if anyone gets around the garden as a) its loud, and b) i may get carried away with the air rifle and purposely leave them without use of their arms

Is there any reason why i could get in trouble for having a starter pistol and firing it at someone?

Surely if they are going about lifting things with a low loader they are going to have a real gun to go with it. It's a good idea to lift everything valuable though as you have done.

Threatening someone with a fake gun carries the same legal implications as threatening them with a real gun as the the person being threaten has no way of knowing the difference.

Probably no what you wanted to hear.

This is true. However, there is no legal problem i know of with owning a blank firing/starter pistol, such as used in stage shows. Aslong as projectiles cannnot be fired from them. *happy*

If your worried about the sods getting in your garden you can legaly own and install 'BLANK' firing shotgun cartridges on a trip wire......good for 2 hours tinitus!

ditto mate !!! even if it was a plastic toy, if you go waving it around implicating it to be a real firearm you will deffo get done, or blown away by an ARV officer. not worth the risk good buddy, i had a 9mm combat 85 (sas type berretta) blank and i ended up melting it down with me oxy set !!! you just got to be vigilant, inform the cops incase there have been other incidents involving the vehicle *wink* lets them know where these people may be patrolling

ahh cheers for the advice, i knew youd be the man richie

i didnt want it to go to them face to face-just to fire it from my window to scare them away

i forgot about that shotgun cartridge thing- i remember seeing it in a bike magazine years ago- i might rig it up to certain items so the bang will wake some one up

i might ring the local station tomorrow just for peace of mind

apply for a shotgun certificate and get a real one, that way you really are safe.

you need to get yourself to the states.

the rumours are 100% true in NY state for sure. Obviously not in the big tourist towns but the smaller ones are pretty good fun!!! *happy*
