Firstly, in the UK, if you have been sentenced to three months imprisonment then you are banned from possessing an air weapon for 5 years. You would be arrested if caught.
Secondly you cannot now possess an air weapon in a public place without reasonable excuse or lawful authority. This came into effect on 20/1/2004. Gone are the days when you could carry an air weapon around, thanks to Section 23 of the Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003.
If I were you I would't bother.

Yeah, pretty dumb, even though low powered air rifles (12ft lbs) muzzle energy, are exempt from licencing regulations, it is still regarded as a "firearm" if you commit an offence with one, you will be charged under the firearms act. Which in your particular circumstances, would NOT be funny!. Don't do it.

Very stupid but in view of the fact you are asking the question you obviously are not too bothered about looking stupid are you?

if you have previous convictions for firearms you would probably be on licence which forbids you from owning a firearm real or otherwise so no it wouldn't be a good idea

YES !!!! It would totally be STUPID !!!!!
Common sense would dictate that to you especially if you currently have a pending case against you.
