:01:42. > :01:47.to recognise the driver. At one point it was literally meters away.
:01:48. > :01:52.All the time we were expecting to be arrested any moment. They weren't,

:03:28. > :03:32.thousands of air gun owners have missed the deadline of the 31st of

:03:51. > :03:52.is processed. They will have to make alternative arrangements for safe

:04:21. > :04:25.are not the type of people who are going to go to the trouble of
:04:26. > :04:29.licensing them then anyway. But backers of the new law say our
:04:30. > :04:33.weapons are involved of half of all gun crime in Scotland and with an
:04:34. > :04:37.estimated half a million of them in Scotland, tightening legislation is
:04:38. > :04:42.justified. Thousands of airguns have already been handed in to police to
:04:43. > :04:46.be destroyed. The arguments about the new legislation will continue
:04:47. > :04:50.well into 2017 but the fact remains that if you have one of these and
:04:51. > :04:54.you don't have a licence for it, as from two morrow night you will be
:04:55. > :04:56.breaking the law. There will be a possible penalty of up to two years
