Yes. I think.

If you don't know the answer to this, then I've a feeling you've escaped from somewhere.

Same again. If it is in a cover, then it's alright. But you can't walk around with it in open air.

> Drink alchoholic drinks in yoor house under the age of 18?
Yes. Obviously.

I've heard this, and I think you can use them if they are "orangeified" or something, basically painted a majority in orange so that people realise that they are fake. Just something I heard so I don't know whether this is true or not. As Azul said, if you keep it hidden you are unlikely to be taking any risks.

You can't unless it is a blade of under 3 inches I think.

Air guns and stuff are complicated. All to do with age and if your have them on display or not.

Knives, length, fixed blade all affects legality.

I'm not sure about any of these, but you can certainly be charged with pretending to be armed.

No, in your own home you can legally drink from the age of 5. You can drink a glass of wine or a half pint of beer or cider, but no spirits, in a restaurant with a meal, when accompanied by an adult.

My little brother always takes his bb gun out onto the streets and we live right beside a police station so I suppose it is legal.

A police officer can't suddenly raid your house and tell you to put out a cigarette so it is legal.

Actual Answers

Take a bb gun on the streets?
- No this isn't illegal but using it for threatening purposes such as waving it around and yelling "I've got a gun" or sniping old people would be illegal

Take a knife on the streets?
- If it is under three inches and under acceptable circumstances then its legal. For example if you're going fishing and plan on gutting the fish - its legal. If you're off to stab your neighbour in the throat - its illegal

Take an airgun or Co2 gun on the streets?
- If it's being transported to be used at a shooting range or specified designated area for airgun operation its legal. If you're carrying it to the shops and back then its illegal

Drink alchoholic drinks in yoor house under the age of 18?
- It's legal as long as you have the consent of the person who bought the alcohol (namely a parent or guardian). If you buy the booze yourself to drink in your own house its illegal. Also I think there is a limit on the amount an underage person is allowed to drink but I'm unsure of it.

Smoke in you house under the age of 16?
- No matter where you smoke underage it is illegal.
