“It is an offence under Section 21 Firearms Act 1968 as amended, for anyone convicted of a criminal offence, to handle, possess, or shoot a firearm and ammunition (this includes Air Guns). If the sentence was for more than three years the prohibition is for life; if less than three years the prohibition is for five years (note: it is the sentence, not the time served, which is the determining factor).”

1. Bookings. Bare Arms Limited reserves the right to decline a booking for any reason, and will contact you in writing if this is the case. If a booking is declined, a full refund will be made.
