Scottish AWL

[bighit]

Just found this while looking for some thing else .

It's an information post not for debating that it's right or wrong.

Take note of the bit in bold. Just because the Scottish Goverment said there was an estimated 500.000 airguns in Scotland it does not mean there would be 500.000 AWL applications . Plus it does not cover this year .


Weapons covered by air weapon certificates.
The Air Weapon and Licensing (Scotland) Act 2015 does not require the
registration of individual weapons and therefore there is no data relating to the
number of weapons covered by air weapon certificates.

3.2 New applications, renewals and revocations.
 There were 3185 new applications for air weapon certificates in the year from 1
April 2018 to 31 March 2019, of which 3105 were granted and 80 refused.

 There were 4251 renewal applications for air weapon certificates in the year from
1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 of which 4237 were granted and 14 refused.

 A total of 91 air weapon certificates were revoked in the year from 1 April 2018 to
31 March 2019.
