I'm a bit uneasy about adding any more guns to my small collection at the moment.
But I am very tempted by some of the things in the January sales.
And where temptation is concerned, I usually give in.

I wish I was in the land of cotton.
Why March ? am I missing something.
January sales?!

Next Kempton Park?
Good deals with these members
Most airgun retailers don't appear to do real sales, I agree.
But some do, and especially at this time of the year.
Why March? Isn't that when we learn what new measures the government might take on the subject of airgun ownership?
There is going to be a discussion in February I believe.
And who knows what they will come up with?

New knife legislation could also be in the offing.
Idiots and bad people have been abusing our rights again.

I would think the worst case scenario would be a license like up here and thousands of people have been issued licenses . nothing has really changed other than some with depression being knocked back for a license and most have fought it and won.
you can get a collectors license ,vermin control or airgun club or a combination of the 3 . and plinking in your garden is not banned but some conditions do apply .
Storage for then is the same as it is no for you down south and the way it has been since 2011 . Under lock and key and no cabinet specified like FAC and SGC.
So if they follow the scottish license cheme you may be worrying unnecessarily .

How many Scottish owned airguns have not been licensed?
Or, to put it another way, how many have?
How many people do you know who have been prescribed pills for depression?
If I lived under the control of Sturgeon, I would be very depressed.

Whilst peoples' concerns are justified, my own view is that it is not inevitable that the airgun licence will be introduced in England & Wales.
Scotland has but a small fraction of the population and is a tiny socialist experiment under the SNP.
The staggering logistics of introducing this needless measure in 43 already hugely stretched police force areas for the airgun owning percentage of 60 million people rather militates against it in light of the wider issues govt has to contend with.
