What actually was the charge recently which put that Headmistress in
prison for 5 months (or however long it was) for using an air rifle in
the street because they were threatening her?


It was something along the lines of possession of a firearm with intent
to
cause fear of violence. And affray, too.

Is an air rifle classified as a firearm?


I believe it must be, in order for the lady to have been convicted of that
charge. I also understand the same law applies to replica firearms, or even
plastic toys used to threaten people.
