THE SCOTTISH Government have fired a round at air gun owners with new legislation targeting improved public safety.
Air gun owners will need firearms certificates for their weapons when new laws come into effect from December 31, 2016.
The Scottish Government has joined forces with animal charity Scottish SPCA to launch a campaign to raise awareness of the new air weapons legislation. The new law is being introduced to improve public safety and reduce gun crime by taking air weapons out of the hands of those who misuse them.
