Vince Green Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Its still beyond my understanding why a dealer would do something like that when there was a paper trail leading back to him, and all for a couple of hundred quid a time!. The man he was selling to was a liability too, not exactly the safest of people to be doing dodgy deals with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought East Anglia included Cambridgeshire? Is Peterborough in Cambridgeshire I wonder? I reckon he thought there is some dollar to be made.

moose man Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I'm still waiting for the proper jury to return a verdict ! ..seems most on PW have him convicted already ..I find it difficult to understand how any reasonably intelligent person with his experience in firearm dealing would allow a paper trail back to him . If as stated he has been trading with this fictitious dealer since 1980 how hasn't this flagged up before ? Do the RFD's books never get checked? I was under the assumption that every deal links every gun to a ticket !! Surely somewhere along a 35 year long trail a fictitious RFD would come to light ....Will be interesting to see how this goes ! .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 It beats me how police never challenged the authenticity of a bogus ticket holder if they were doing their job properly... If the allegations are true of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Looks to me based on what little we know, he has made a lot of money out of the dodgy Suffolk councillor. Didn't expect the golden goose to die and leave a trail back to him. What is the penalty for this if found guilty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't expect the golden goose to die and leave a trail back to him. What is the penalty for this if found guilty? From the CPS website - General nature of offence: Selling firearm to person without a certificate. Punishment: (a) Summary 6 months or a fine of the prescribed sum; or both. (b) On indictment. 5 years or a fine; or both. General nature of offence: Non-compliance by firearms dealer with provisions as to register of transactions; making false entry in register. Punishment: Summary 6 months or a fine of level 5 on the standard scale; or both. So I reckon 5 years for selling. 6 months and £5000 for false book keeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Paddy, I thought the same. Do you reckon that'll make a difference on the sentence? definitely, plus the fact he;s ex regiment, and worked for the local plod right up until all this came to light, then there's the basic facts of what he's really done, not just what the media says to spice up a headline. i'm not trying to justify any wrong doing on his part, but does anyone know if any of the guns he sold were de-acts ? or even if they were obsolete calibres?

Harnser Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I know the man very well . He used to run the horsford rifle and pistol club for many years . He was a member of the pilgrims ( S.A.S. T.A.). He used to bring the pilgrims down to the range and we used to have some super fun days shooting all sorts of targets from 30 yards to 500 yards . It is surprising how effective a hand gun can be in the right hands at 200 yards . Tony always came across as a decent enough guy and would always go out of his way to help . He was a big collector of all things military and had a very nice Willis jeep . It is a shame that he is in this situation. These are very serious matters and if he is found guilty he faces some very serious jail time . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 I wonder if now would be the best time to make him an offer on the Jeep ?? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapilot Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 "Some of those weapons are considered simply too dangerous for members of the public in this country to be in possession of.

Grum87 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Found guilty on every count from what I'm hearing. My dealings with Anthony were good. Bit of a mockery that he got done for fraud on the section 5 to section 1 thing. Do the same thing outside the UK and import it as a section 1 appears to be OK(ask Oakrise Firearms, m1garand.co.uk), but do it in the UK and you're a bad man.... Illegal arms dealing aside..... Kind of liked my SVT40 too......even if it didn't cycle that well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
