Minimum 5 years sentence was TB's idea though..."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested." -
Since when has a mere inconvenient fact ever stopped DP blaming the government for everything?Originally posted by Tarquin Farquhar View PostPossession of a firearm without a certificate has been a criminal offence for over 40 years. Nothing to do with the current administration.

It seems obvious to me that you shouldn't walk in to a police station with a shotgun. Good job he didn't pop to the bank first.+50 Xeno Geek Points

It's ridiculous!
The man made an appointment, handed the weapon in and still got arrested and sent down!Comment

It sounds ridiculous, but I don't think he mentioned a shotgun when he contacted them.Originally posted by Churchill View PostIt's ridiculous!

The only answer is to hang them both. ( But it was a stupid question, mind )...Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostLooks like it was police revenge for the chap getting off an earlier 'offence'.

I wonder if this is the whole story. If I found a gun in my garden, I might indeed bring it into the house to prevent anyone else taking/using it. However, I'd call the police immediately and tell them I'd found a gun. I wouldn't wait till the next day, make an appt with a named officer (still not mentioning the gun) then turn up at the station and produce it out of bag whilst still having forgotten to mention that that's what I'd brought in. Not saying the guy should have been convicted, but certainly behaved a little foolishly.Comment

Yup you've got a point there. What's the going rate for a sawn-off shotgun these days?Originally posted by k2p2 View PostI wonder if this is the whole story.

So if you find a firearm the message is one of:- Keep it
- Discard it so that someone else can find it
- Sell it to a bloke down the pub
