OAP in Illegal Gun Haul

A Penshioner from Wales has been jailed for 5 years after police found 111 weapons in his home.

'Buffulo' Bill Jones, 94 had collected guns since the early 1940's.

During proceedings, Mr Jones' barrister told the court that, "the world was a different place when Mr Jones began his collection. During the 1940's, Mr Jones' hometown of Mfwanny Kradic, was over run with strange, khaki clad men and women, walking around with guns. So, Mr Jones decided to collect weapons for his own protection".

Mr Jones' collection included 32 blunderbuss', 21 flintlock rifles, 16 gatling guns and numerous 'spud guns'. Jones also had a collection of butter knives and 28 pea shooters.

Mr Jones is appealing against his sentence, claiming he had set up his own 'gun amnesty' programme, where people from the local community could hand over their weapons to Mr Jones, who would then send them to a friend doing charity work in the hills of Afghanistan.

Numerous large wooden boxes were found in Mr Jones' house labelled 'Mr Bill Larden, Cave 21, Hindu Kush, Afghantistan A55 0LE'.
