I found out that it's not illegal to own them here, in fact, you can get them mail order - You just have to be oficially 18 years old, and can't take them out into public places. That's a real problem if you're doing filming. I guess you could always ask your local police station what they would recommend.Originally posted by Grant
At the moment they are trying to license the ownership of swords, bows and crossbows etc. Most Martial Arts weapons are already licensed here!!!
As far as I know, the same applies to blank firing guns. Anyone remember Adam & The Ants???? He got prosecuted for waving a replica gun around in public, and a few days ago, some geezer down at a pub squirted a policeman in his van, and the policeman got out and pepper-sprayed the bloke! That guy has now been prosecuted, and is facing a jail term, thanks to the police officer throwing the book at him!
