Change to Firearms Legislation

Your attention is drawn to the new firearms legislation which came into effect on 1 October 2007.

These are important changes which have an immediate impact on some of our members in particular, those members over the age of 17 but under the age of 18.

With effect from 1 October 2007, the age limit for possessing without adult supervision, hiring or purchasing an air weapon has risen from 17 to 18.
