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?
Possibly for recording crimes. After all, think how hard a policeman looks
in a report if he apprehended three criminals with a firearm, when in
reality it was three ten year olds with a thirty year old air pistol.
In reality, the only air rifles you need a firearms certificate for are
those with a power rating of greater than 12 ft/pounds.
