Does anyone actually KNOW anyone who has had their Airgun tested by the police ?
If so, what were the circumstances ?
Two.
1) My now departed brother had a long & bitter dispute with his neighbour. The neighbour complained about him using guns in the garden, just plinking. At the time he had an Original Model 6, & was doing some work on my Webley Hurricane & Hawk Mk 2. They tested the Hawk! Needless to say it was returned, as were the others.
2) This ones a bit more murky. An ex workmate was raided by the Police. As his other job was sound crew at festivals, think they were looking for drugs. None were there, but they found his HW35. Tested it, came out over the limit, just. He claimed it was because he'd oiled it up for storage, & it was dieseling. I'm inclined to believe him - he was very good mechanically, & I am sure if he'd wanted to tune it over the limit, he would not have had it going 'just' over.
