Bit of an interesting ...So much for being quiet...<br /><br />Bit of an interesting one this. For the sake of playing devils advocate lets assume that the UK's firearm laws are derived from something approaching sense and good intentions.<br /><br />The random passerby who reported this to the police acted correctly.<br />The initial police response, active invesigation by armed police, was correct.<br /><br />At that point it all comes apart. The ideal scenario would have been for Smith, being confronted with armed police, to have said 'This is a deactivated firearm, here are my keys, please feel free to inspect it'. The officer on the spot should then have inspected it and said 'Right, it's deactivated, stop being a ruddy fool and keep it in your boot when you've got a display coming up. We're off.'.<br /><br />To be clear, no longer playing devil's advocate, it is permitted to own and possess (proofed) deactivated firearms, and showing the deactivation certificate to the police *should* have been enough to end the matter.<br /><br />Pleading guilty to 'possessing an imitation firearm in a public place' is odd... this clearly was not an imitation firearm - unless that charge was referring to the 'replica pistols'.<br /><br />"Imagine the potential apoplexy which a Gladius...."<br /><br />Ye gads, there'd be no excuse for that one - bit hard to 'deactivate' a 30 inch length of steel :D (well, usually iron, sometimes bronze or steel)<br /><br />"Those gun bans are really working out aren't they?"<br /><br />Nuff said.bpuknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-19421252759263260062012-02-10T18:26:39.674+00:002012-02-10T18:26:39.674+00:00Bloody good job he wasn't a member of the Ermi...Bloody good job he wasn't a member of the Ermine Street Guard then .. <br /><br />Imagine the potential apoplexy which a Gladius, Puggio and a brace of Pila might bring on .. ;)Captain Haddocknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-86878508759908630522012-02-10T17:46:00.122+00:002012-02-10T17:46:00.122+00:00Cops going for low-hanging fruit?

No reasonable person would be concerned that they did turn up and would even accept that they were armed but their actions after that smack of either petty vindictiveness as he refused to back down or the intent to sell the historical weapon. Still safer for them than actually, you know... trying to reduce armed crime?
