Re: Ex-soldier faces jail for handing in gun
Looking online there seems to be no stories which show any side other than what we are hearing. That he found a gun, took it to the police, and hence was done for possessing a firearm.
Someone made the point that for the period of transport, i.e walking to the police station, he was carrying a loaded weapon and therefore was in possession which could have been dangerous but that argument would only work if police apprehended him before hand. I.E How could he prove he was heading to the station with it and not simply carrying a shotgun around. In this case he went right to the police.
I honestly do not understand how it went this far? With neither the Police, CPS, or Judge seeing how crazy it was. I hope there is more to the story...
