I have to travel to an airgunning event later this year by public transport. I just wanted to clarify the legality and rules of carrying an air-rifle from A to B.
My rifle is Daystate Harrier X .22 160-bar with silencer and scope and I have a 'Dosko Sport Hard Rifle Case' which has four lockable points and is usually carried with at least one locked padlock. Is this adequate for carrying in public?
I will also be carrying pellets and an air-rifle pump. Can these be carried together, with the rifle, without contravening any laws?
I usually travel by car but am unable to for this event.
Sensible answers only please...

hmm... robkim04, well in response to your 'unsensible' answer "duh, your not to smart." I guess I should tell you that I've been a member of British Mensa for over ten years... so I'm smart enough to be in the top 2% of the population when it comes to IQ... but thanks for your input all the same.

oh, and just to correct your English grammer and spelling... you should have said "duh, you're not too smart." rather than "duh, your not to smart.".

Sorry you've had to listen to the above negativity. Obviously you are a responsible airgunner. Presently the law says that to have an air rifle in public it must be cased and unloaded. Unloaded means no pellet in the breech whether cocked/charged or not. Thus you would be ok to have a cased airrifle (unloaded) on public transport. It may be wise to carry I.d. in case of encountering an over zealous official.....maybe a club membership card. Good luck at the shoot and nice rifle!!

i could say that a 22 leaves a around hollow, yet no longer generally marble length somewhat smaller than that. A pellet simply by fact it extremely is flat no longer rounded on the tip, will bypass away a miles better hollow and because it is going slower it is going to reason extra shatter than a 22. A 22 could in specific situations no longer do something yet make celeb runs around the hollow. A rock great adequate to interrupt a window could generally be better than a marble. without actual seeing it,it extremely is perplexing to tell yet no depend what's used rock, pellet or gun, something would be interior the abode that led to it. you purely have not discovered it yet. a 22 could desire to bypass inspite of the incontrovertible fact that one or 2 added partitions of the abode earlier it stoped, and the holes could be rather small interior the wall.

You can't travel on public transport with any kind of gun even if it's in a case. In the UK you will be arrested under the present laws designed to combat terrorism or because someone may be offended by your actions. Try a taxi, they may do it.
Remember, your gun may if it's powerful, require a gun license, I have to have a firearm cert for mine.
