Air rifle licence in Spain?
 

Do Air rifles have to be licenced? So I know whether to bring mine over.

I see the rifles for sale in hardware shops over here.

Given the hysterical attitudes here, don't be surprised if you find yourself staring into a dozen Heckler&Koch gun barrels at the airport.

Can't help you with the licence info tho.

I think You need a FAC for any over 18ft lbs

Have a read of http://www.thespainforum.com/airgun-...rgun-laws.html

Re: Air rifle licence in Spain?
 

Shooting of any living animal with an airgun in Spain is illegal.

Now that truly blows my mind.

Thanks all,
I think all the info is in the links. Better get mine tested for power.

There was a guy on the other week who shot in the face "alledgedly" a bloke trying to shag his dog (not his wife, his pet) apparently the Police were as easy going with his shooting someone as they were with the dog worrier - Unless he's a lying git I'd say you'd have no probs with an air rifle.

This "git" was not lying.

lol - It better be <12ft/lbs or you'd need a FAC in the UK, all UK sold air rifles are <12 unless they are FAC models, though the power output is pellet dependent it should be alot less then 18.

PS - I left my .177 BSA Hornet at home as I was not sure what the USA laws were, I needn't have bothered as in the US air rifles are not classed as firearms, irrespective of power.

I now own a .44 mag Henry lever action rifle - no license, and I can buy ammo at my local supermarket:thumbup:

In Spain it is 24.2 Joules which is equivalent to just under 18 ft/lbs.

I don't shoot at the range any more (pistol & rifle) It's just that I have restored it some 10 years ago and when ordering spares was told it dates back to 1939 so it,s only sentemental value.
