Rifs at car boot

[PT247]

you have to be over 18 to buy an IF. You are not allowed to sell a RIF to someone without a defence.

Wait a minute, the law really isn't really that concerned about power is it!? I thought the point of RIFs and Tow-Tones is that you MUST be 18 or over to buy a two-toned rifle, and you MUST sell a non-two tone (RIF) to someone who presents a valid defense, the point being that you're not going to go and rob the corner shop down the road with it!

That's a separate issue entirely, I believe it's rooted in "obviously designed as a child's toy" line of thinking, though as Jcheeseright said, RIF is still a RIF, but subjectively, a child's toy, which IS a RIF, may not be a RIF in the eyes of someone looking at it if due to some particular factor, which when accepted, means it was obviously designed to be.....

An example, would be a very low muzzle force. That has no bearing on whether it is a VCRA RIF, but but but I CBA anymore.

a RIF as already stated does not even need to be able to fire a thing, muzzle energy is utterly irrelevant!

Not when grandfathered in. That's a cheap shot (also entirely irrelevant to the discussion), but it's the best i've got.

not quite sure what you mean so will just nod and smile and try and look clever enough to get the joke!

No you can sell a RIF to someone if your sure it's for legitimate purposes,

 

[PT247]

I am under 18, can my parents buy me a RiF?Not unless they are members of one the approved purchasing groups, it would appear that there is no problem of a gift from an eligible purchaser to a minor.

I am under 18, can I buy an Imitation Firearm or "Two Tone "?No you cannot, an IF cannot be purchased by a person under 18 years of age.
