[chbot] Spud Guns

[Kerry Harpur]

Really? I thought they would be under the same classification as an air
rifle in this country - 16-18 need a firearms licence over that no licence
needed. Not that I have looked it up myself but I'd be surprised if they
were classified as anything else.

Regards,
Kerry
