Cart before the Horse
SOSL, sorry to disagree old chap. You see, what I thought I said was that the offence of possessing etc is an absolute offence, there is no defence, only mitigation. Now, proving that the good Sgt had possession is up to the courts and, in this case, it seems to be that they have found, beyond reasonable doubt, that he was in possession in contravention of the 1968 Firearms Act (as far as the law requires). Ergo, I stand by my original statement.
