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 |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
