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.

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.

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'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.

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.

Yes. Obviously.
