The law surrounding the ownership and use of guns in England is complex and fast moving. Falling foul of the Firearms Act is a serious matter which carries with it significant penalties. These range from minor offences which can carry a sentence of up to six months imprisonment and a £400 fine, to the most serious offences which carry a maximum of ten years in jail and an unlimited fine.
