[drillsgt]

You know all is lost in Britain when someone in the SAS can be jailed for possessing a handgun.

Nice job of them putting his picture in there too. That certainly won't reduce his need for a firearm.

That was my first thought..lol...This poor guy is a marked man now

 

[drillsgt]

All that money, training, and experience being wasted because he had a pistol of all things.

You know what I have to say about that socicialist country? Well heck, guess!

But he broke the LAW! I've learned here on InGO that even if the law isn't right that you must follow the LAW!

Would you follow such a law if it were enacted here? There's a difference between following the "law" and doing what's right, and I think that is where the distinction should be here

Firearms are dangerous and I would never allow them in my home. I most definitely would never a firearm. Who do you think I am, Al Capone?

Yep, if you don't like it, work to change the law. Until then, it must be obeyed.

Civil disobedience effectively works to change the law too.

Sorry. He knew the law. He had a brain injury, but he still knew the law. He kept the pistol and the ammo illegally, and just shoved under his bed.

Soldier or not, you have to follow the law.

I hate the laws in my motherland but eh... what are you going to do? He also got off very lightly by getting time in the brig instead of a civilian prison. He could've got 5 years in the nick for it.

Would someone remind me again about all this freedom that coalition troops were supposed to be fighting for?

 

[9mmfan]

That's just a big pile of horse****.

 

[Tactical Dave]

He knew the law

I think you missed the implied purple.


Oh yeah, forgot my ... I think this chap is ready to move up in status and be welcomed in America with open arms. Move him to the front of the citizenship line.

He also admitted possessing ammunition.

Sad that it comes to that

The court heard that the gun was a gift from Iraqi soldiers he had been helping to train, but Sgt Nightingale, who had suffered medical problems affecting his memory, said he did not remember having it.

So this guy who can't remember if he has a gun due to brain injury is an SAS sniper

I was under the impression he was returned to Britain because of the injury in question, hence making the scenario much more reasonable.
