Drill Purpose Rifle L59A1 UK Legal Status

[Mk VII]

I suspect we've not the last of the fall-out from the Shepherd case. They hated losing that one (indeed the BBC accidentally put out the pre-prepared report of his conviction, together with a quote from the detective in charge about what a good result it was) and I think the law on s.58 antiques will change to make what he was doing illegal again.

I think the law on s.58 antiques will change to make what he was doing illegal again.

I have tried to find out exactly was he was doing by trawling through the press reports - and failed. Do you know what the disagreement was between him and the Met? I assumed that it was Section 58 and have further assumed that is was based on the word antique? But some meat around my surmise would be nice - links?
