I try and shoot at a small 25 meter range at work every day so I take a rifle to work and lock it in a secure cabinet. We have armed troops on the gate who quit rightly search the odd car. If I’m stopped the first words out of my big gob are there is a air rifle in a gun slip in the boot and here is my permission to bring it on to site.

There is also a heavy police presence where I live and once or twice I’ve been stopped and if I’ve had one of my babies in the boot I tell plod straight away. There is no point getting the hump with the police they are just ring their job.
