Air rifles and the law?

Permission doesn't has to be written, it can be verbal and also doesn't have to be specific, it can be general

Weather an air rifle is cased or not makes no difference to the law on having having possession in a public place but may stop the police being called and it doesn't just have to be going to or from an organised shoot.

I would beg to differ. Last time I checked, an air gun must be transported in a secure case, that does not allow it to be operated whilst contained within said case. In most scenarios a car boot clasifies as a locked case. Reason I know that is because someone from the club got pulled up on it. 

But then that was a good 6 years ago or so, so things could have changed.
