From the literature I've read, it seems to be as follows (please, please correct me if I'm wrong): Sec 1: May carry firearm covered (i.e. in gunslip) but NO ammunition in a public place Sec 2: May carry a shotgun AND ammo in a public place (can't remember whether it had to be covered, but that would seem sensible) Air weapons: Unlawful to carry a LOADED air weapon in a public place (so no restriction on unloaded ones) Blank firers: ?????? Any help/expansion on this one? Mike -- "19. A person commits an offence, if without lawful authority or reasonable excuse (the proof whereof lies on him) he has with him in a public place a loaded shot gun or loaded air weapon, or any other firearm (whether loaded or not) together with ammunition suitable for use in that firearm."
