Yes - a good idea and not many legal pitfalls. Mind you, the
old-fashioned 'garden gun' (20 bore shotgun) would be useful!

garden guns are not 20-bore nor any where near! they take a number 3
cartridge (.177 is No1, .22 No2, 9mm is No3) most garden guns fell foul
of regulations which set a minimum barrel and over-all length for legal
smooth-bore weapons. There are still a few of the longer ones about,
though ammo (being brass-cased) is very expensive. Need a part-two FAC
to buy/own one.
