SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CONSULTATION ON AIR WEAPON LICENSING

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation on proposals for licensing Air Weapons in Scotland and is seeking views on ways to regulate them.
The Consultation was launched last week by Justice Minister Kenny McAskill and respondents have until March 15th 2013 to put their points forward.
The SGA encourage its members to make their feelings known on this issue.
As a committee, the SGA is of the opinion air rifles should be registered and used responsibly.
To see the consultation contents in full, see http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2012/12/5619/downloads#res410460
You can respond to the consultation using the downloadable documents contained within.
