I know my air guns aren't locked up as I dont have a gun safe BUT my amunition is and there are no kids in the house, leaving a loaded gun in reach of children is very foolish, that said my sympathy is with the family, even the Father as its all to easy to become complacent with air weapons. |

what a tragedy - and a very apt reminder to everyone with guns or airguns ..

You don't need to secure air weapons by law, but there's a good cheap way to do so without needing the fuss and expense of a steel cabinet required for rifles and shotguns.
One of these: 
can be fitted to a solid brick, block or stone wall with ease - all you need is a drill - and then you can use a short chain and padlock to secure the gun to it. Make sure the chain goes around the weapon and through the trigger guard. You can also purchase trigger locks for about a fiver to a tenner from any reputable gun shop, or online, that prevent the trigger being accessed by unauthorised users. Trigger locks |

thanks BB I will do just that, they are currently hidden in the back corner of built in wardrobes and in covers and we have no kids in the house so wasnt to keen on the expense of a gun safe but
I will certainly look into the wall eyes and visit the gun shop for the trigger guards. The amunition is in a small fireproof safe in a seperte room so loading and using them is a very deliberate job. |
