281.This paragraph sets out the specific exemption that applies to attendees at an event covered by a permit issued under section 17. Sub-paragraph (1)(b) specifies that the attendee must be using the air weapon to engage in an activity at the event for the exemption to apply. Use of an air weapon at an event when not engaging in event activities is therefore not exempted from the section 2(1) offence.
