There may be a misconception about what you can or can’t own in the way of firearms in England.\u00a0 The laws banning handguns have been in effect for a while, and those include any short-barreled gun that could be considered a handgun. However, there is a long list of guns that you can own and use, but because\u00a0 they have a long barrel (or two), you are not barred from owning them.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the story with pictures for you kids.\u00a0 You all may get your undies in a bunch over the punt gun (see photo), but remember, boys and girls: it\u2019s supposed to be used for hunting and\u2026 er, nothing else.\u00a0 Okay, sure\u2026.<\/p>\n

As this is purely an educational article, I have to add that no bullets were fired and no waterfowl hurt in the writing of it, although hunting season is underway for waterfowl and deer season has already started for bowhunters.\u00a0 Should I post a photo of hunting bows, too?<\/p>\n
