skapunkninja Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hi all. I've just fit a replica .30 and pedestal mount to my MB, can anyone fill me in on the law regarding road use? For instance, when driving to a show will just covering the gun up be sufficient? Or do I need to remove and lock it away? Cheers, Rich.

pockers Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Technically having a replica or deact in public is classed as having a realistic immitation firearm in public which is an offence( ie if it looks like a gun ) However having it on the jeep id say covers you for exemtions/defence of the vcr act especially if on route to a show etc ( this is just my opinion as alot of the defences have not been tested yet) but id say best practice and to avoid police being called by well meaning members of public then always best to have it covered up when in public/not at show Remeber if deact to have the certificate if not a copy of it with you The fact its on a military jeep goes a long way id say - would be different if you had an mg mounted on a ford escort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
