Don't lose any sleep, it's only 5 years, the length of a FAC/SGC, and you know how quickly that goes...and when you get out you won't have any future worries about Firearms either, you will be banned for life.
cheers Decker after thinking about it I thought s*d it if I get sent down that would be 5 years not paying council tax, tax on my wages, I would get free meals free accommodation and a roof over my head and I could become a armchair hunter they seem to get everything else inside and by the time I get out I would be at retirement age
