Cheers
Ps not going to say how and where mine are.
There is no legal requirement too store air weapons under 12 foot pounds too the same levels as say shotguns or firearms but since 2011 we must take reasonable precautions to stop unautherised access too anyone under the age of 18

* In many cases, it will be sufficient to store your air weapon in an existing, suitably robust, lockable cupboard – keeping the keys separate and secure.
* Alternatively, you could use a lock or locking device by which your air weapon can be attached to the fabric of a building, or to a fixed feature. Or you could use a security cord, lockable chain or similar device attached to a point of anchorage within the building.
* Even where children are very young, or are not normally present, it is preferable to use some form of security cord or similar device rather than simply storing your air weapon up high and out of reach
