Important Message: Safe Use of Air Guns and Legislation
The police attach great importance to arms control, and targeting violent crime involving firearms is one of the Commissioner’s Operational Priorities in 2014. A set of arms licensing regime and statutory regulation has been put in place for arms control in Hong Kong. There may, however, be misuses of air guns that result in breaches of the law every now and then. You are therefore reminded that:-
Under the Firearms and Ammunition Ordinance, Cap. 238, any person who, without a licence or an exemption issued by the Commissioner of Police, has in his possession any air rifle, air gun or air pistol from which any shot, bullet or missile can be discharged with a muzzle energy greater than 2 joules commits an offence and is liable to a fine of $100,000 and to imprisonment for 14 years.
