For offences requiring possession, the prosecution has to prove that the defendant knew they had something in their possession; it is irrelevant what they knew or thought it was: R v Hussain (1981) 72 Cr. App. R. 143; R v Waller (1991) Crim. L.R. 381. Sentencing for the importation of firearms is dependent upon the type of firearm: the maximum sentence is 7 years unless the firearm is of a kind mentioned in section 5(1)(a), (ab), (aba), (ac), (ad), (ae), (af) or (c) or (1A)(a) of the Firearms Act 1968 in which case the maximum is life imprisonment (section 170(4A) of CEMA), and even outside of these cases the type of firearm will be relevant to sentence. Prosecutors should therefore aver in the indictment or charge the type of firearm that has been imported. (See below, under ‘Note on Disguised Weapons’, for the approach in relation to disguised stun guns.) Charging Guidance Evidence People who are “avoidant motivated” (neurotic) tend to perceive the risks/negatives in situations. “Spider soup! How could that possibly be safe?

Where a child or young person has committed an offence, prosecutors should consider diversion, according to the gravity of the offence and the principles of the youth caution and conditional caution scheme. See the legal guidance on Youth Offenders. A youth specialist should be consulted. Amnesties and Surrenders Where offences contrary to section 1 or section 5 Firearms Act 1968 (other than straightforward shotgun and air weapon offences, referred to above) appear to have been committed, a forensic report from a FSP or a firearms expert from a United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited police force will always be needed for classification purposes.

Sections 22 to 24A of the Firearms Act 1968 create offences relating to the possession and acquisition by minors of firearms and air weapons and the supply of firearms and air weapons to minors: where apparently complex or remote test firing procedures are used, it is clear why the procedure was used and whether the weapon could have been fired in a conventional manner; Such air weapons are exempt from the requirement for a certificate under section 1 (see below under “Possession of Firearms and Shotguns Without a Certificate”). Section 19 requires the shotgun to be loaded or for there to be possession of a firearm and suitable ammunition.minimising, or giving mitigation for, their offending behaviour.
