Air rifles and the law?

[procta]

In other words, don't dick about with an air rifle if you want to avoid jail

I remember my cousin nearly getting grounded when he was 17, for dicking about with his air rifle, Mind what he did was well dangerous, but it was one of those ones, where you shouldn't laugh but you end up laughing! 
His dad fell a sleep in chair, and my cousin was cleaning his air rifle, He said see if my dad trusts me with me air rifle. lucky it wasn't loaded at the time, he aimed the rifle with in about an inch from his dads eye, and then POP. His dad sharp woke up!  and went fuckin nuts! my cousin calmly walks up stairs and his dad legged it after him!
One way of waking up your old man!
