A peaceful honest citizen - arrested for having some antique firearms...without firing pins. Are the British people really this dense? ------- "The grandson of a Coventry rat-catcher has appeared in court charged with keeping his grandfather's gun without a licence."
"Robert Victor Clelland, of Watersmeet Road, Stoke Heath, Coventry, pleaded guilty at Coventry Magistrates Court to owning three guns without a licence."
"The court heard how police were visiting Clelland's house on another matter on May 30 when they spotted two double-barrelled shotguns and a rifle on a display rack in the 52-year-old's living room."
"Clelland, who owned two of the guns for more than 20 years and was given the other as a family heirloom, told police he thought he didn't need a licence for guns which had their firing pins removed." |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
