Q: Hi, are air guns illegal in Trinidad and Tobago? Do I need a license to own one?
A: The answer to both questions is, "it depends". According to the Firearms (Air weapons) Order made under s.2 of the Firearms Act 1970, as amended:
"For the purposes of the definition of “firearm” occurring in section 2 of the Firearms Act, it is hereby declared that a firearm does not include air weapons of or below .177 calibre, unless the barrel thereof is rifled."
Simply put, owning an air gun without a license is illegal if it is over .177 calibre.
