Cautions are errased after 5 years or when you are 18, in my case i am 18 next year so 5 years will be longer, so mine will be gone in 4more years. (happened year ago)

Just read through all that, what a sad state of affairs eh when you can't even defend yourself and then when you realise something you have turns out to be illegal you do the right thing and wham, land up in even more trouble!
Glad sense prevailed and the outcome a goodun Thumbs Up

Really glad to hear that a bit of common sense by the police has been shown here Clapping

I thought amnesty and all that... remember after the Dunblane shootings? (only 20mins drive from me). They had a period when people could hand in weapons without fear of getting into trouble, now someone does it and almost goes to jail Shocked

They pleaded with people to hand in weapons...shows that this country is fubar.

I suppose the moral of the story is don't buy any kind of weapon, as they'll have you for the slightest thing.

What was ever wrong with a 3-foot 2x4 from B&Q???

Personally I think you've over-reacted far too much. You won't go to jail for being honest and handing in an illegal weapon to a police station and explaining how you obtained it, why you obtained it and that you've realised it's illegal.. it won't happen, a caution maybe for owning the weapon but they won't send you to jail for it unless you've admitted to using it and they have proof.

I doubt very much that at any point would you have risked jail at all and completely agree with rsixer03.

I am new to this forum but have spent some time reading this post. A friend of mine also found himself in a situation like this. He owned a stun gun and didn't know it was illegal but carried it on him as both his brothers had recently been assaulted (seperate incidents). One night home he was randomly searched and they found it. He went to court and was given a community service order, and narrowly missed prison.

Primalcarl you were lucky, and well done Thumbs Up

What bothers me here is that some people are so blind that they don't have the common sense to realise a stun gun would be illegal.

Lets face it, if these were legal they would be far more abundant than they already are. These things hurt so maybe the polic did the right thing, but for somebody not even realising it could be illegal is a bit short sighted to be honest.

If you're looking at a professional site, that is in english, and has no warnings, and sells everything else (paintball guns, airsoft guns, blank firers) you'd have no reason to think this was illegal

Apart from the fact that you realised it was not in the UK and that the items had to be shipped in? Rolling Eyes

I didn't realise that until it had been delivered and that didn't alarm me as other stuff has come from other countries. I was under the impression that customs checked incoming parcels, and the Police were suprised it got through too.

Anyway, the issue has been resolved at last
