We're charging you.
So I thought, well, this is a bit strange.
So I got to court the next day because I held up a night, put in court the next day.
And the district judge looks at it.
I haven't got a criminal record.
I've got my invoices for the guns.
And he says, well, I see no reason why he can't have bail.
The CPS then piped up and says, well, he can't have bail because he's got a Section 5 firearms offence.
So they then decided, the judge looks shuffling a few papers, and he remanded me in custody.
Basically, if you've got what they call prohibited weapons, so something that is illegal.
So for instance, you've heard of a butterfly knife.
A butterfly knife is illegal in the UK.
It's a prohibited weapon.
A switchblade, where you press the button and the blade comes out, is a prohibited weapon.
self-contained gas cartridges because you can adapt them and very easily make them firearms they're illegal and that's what they thought i had now that carries a sentence of five years per weapon right and i had four so 20-year stretch if they wanted to penalize me for all of it
I'm there arguing, not arguing with the judge, but I'm sort of saying, Your Honour, I've got the receipts.
But anyway, I was remanded in custody.
So that was the first time.
And it took two years.
Cut a long story short, it took two years to sort it out.
