Well that law is an ass. You find a gun and hand it in you are guilty of posession no matter what. Well I know what to do now if I ever find a gun
Quote:
Prosecuting, Brian Stalk, explained to the jury that possession of a firearm was a "strict liability" charge – therefore Mr Clarke's allegedly honest intent was irrelevant.
Just by having the gun in his possession he was guilty of the charge, and has no defence in law against it, he added.]

This is very disturbing. Would not the fact that the weapon was in his garden put him in posession if it?
