What we have to look forward to: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/10229880/Baronets-gun-stunt-backfires-when-officers-swoop-on-wedding.html
“They [the police] wanted to check every gun in the bar and the house … there are guns on the wall everywhere. They would have been all crawling around the bar and the house, pulling things off the wall, which is not very helpful.”
Sir Benjamin said his weapons were all deactivated and had been inspected by police two years ago. He was fined £2,000 in May last year for failing to keep a shotgun in a locked cabinet, after 18 armed officers swarmed the property in a raid that included roadblocks and a surveillance helicopter. All his licensed guns were confiscated during the raid, and so what remains of his collection is deactivated. Deactivated weapons do not require a licence and are not covered by any legislation.
