What a load of shit for being convicted of possession of as firearm.Fairdo if he was caught doing something with it but not this.In the past I have handed in live rifle ammunition and live shotgun cartridges that I found in my garage,all they did was ask why I had it and took my name.
On a note of an SA80 one of my mates lost his head and went awol from the army with a loaded one.He did get a jail term and the firearm was never recovered I don't think he planned it or anything,just lost the plot
