It is really a sentance for stupidity-why call the police first?-if you have an air rifle snipe the Chav Scum off at a distance.

[Guzzi Steve]

She should have used one of these!

possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear or violence

Now is it me but I thought fire had to be present (as in primer/powder) for something to be a firearm...

[NiceCupOfTea]

6 months for having missed, maybe...

Well then parrot of doom-is there a local Chav problem?

[alextgreen]

Why stop at an air rifle? We need some Texan style justice for these low lifes.

Not the case - a tazer is a Class 3 firearm apparently (as a mate found out when Customs confiscated one).

Yeah, customs get tetchy about stun guns etc.

IIRC an air rifle becomes a 'firearm' when the power exceeds 12ft/lbs - when a firearms certificate is needed.
