All this about Builders "ignoring" illegal Firearms they find
raises some interesting questions.
If you were to come accross an illegal Firearm/s what do
you do? Recently a Pistol was recovered, or possibley
two I think, under a Bridge not 10 Minutes from where I
am now. The thing is, if you find them what do you do?
Do you take it to the Police station? If you do you could
be arrested just for taking them there as there is no
excuse for being in possession if section 5 guns. Going
to hand them in would probably not get you charged but it
might as you have tecnically broken the Law. The worst
case would be if you got stopped with them on the way
the the Police station. "Yes Officer, I really have just
found these two CZ 75's under that bridge, but no it really
wasn't me who shot that IRA informer with them the other
week.". This would be especially difficult if you were an
FAC holder I would imagine. Do you stay with the Guns?
What happens if the person who left then there want's
them back, do you let him have them or put a fight up? If
you let him have them are you deemed to be supplying
them? If you stay with them to look after them are you in
posesion of them? I would suggest that the only way to
keep on the right side of the Law would be to do nothing
or at least leave them where they are and tell the Police
when you are away from the Scene. But then again is
this right from a Moral point of view, given the fact that if
you have found then so could someone else?

The police are supposed to take in guns from members of the
public no questions asked, according to HO Guidance.
I do remember a case in London where a man trimming his
hedge found a 1911 that had been thrown there by a passing
bank robber. He was given the third degree by the
Flying Squad, not realising he was the brother of a rather
well-known newspaper journalist who gave them hell in print.
