yet alone drive a car up there
People who live in Church(Henry St area) don't regard it as part of Church.
It is in the middle of that estate that lies east of Dill Hall Lane and borders Accrington.
Not supprised, I used to live round that area.
Doesnt mention what type of gun though it could just be a BB Gun, Air Pistol or even a fake.

I dont think that it matters whether its a bb gun, air gun an ak47 or a water pistol, if it looks like a real gun, then that is what the owner intended it to look like, and nothing good would ever come of it, and punishment, if caught, should be in line with firearms offences for anything resembling a real gun.
Of corse it makes a difference, even if it looked like a real gun if it was in his or her property and is legal then no law has been broken.
If it looks like a gun, its not down to the owner, its what the manufacturer intended it to look like.
I agree ... and in Canada, if one uses a water pistol, for example, when robbing a place, then the crime is armed robbery; and the perp faces the same sentence as if he had used a glock. One of you guys should check it out and see if it is the same as over there.
there has always been guns in accrington, well i remember them from when i was a teenager.
plus i was stabbed in the town center when i was 21...thats 11 years before all this rubbish about knife crime.

What a patronising statement, so you think there will be no other parts of the borough where guns will be found? There are good and bad people living all over Hyndburn, maybe you will be shocked to find they even reside near you!!!
well said Bernie
Neil your getting rather ignorant, wasnt it your 'town' that had a gun shop in it not long ago....the gun shop that MAYBE supplied these guns to people in Church....but then again i might have known it would be Ossy....

Just heard a clip on the radio yesterday; someone in the U.S. had tried to hold up a store using a banana under his coat ... LOL, however, the sales assistant wasn't supposed to know that were they. Didn't even get chance to eat it before he was apprehended ... lucky he wasn't shot himself.
The same rules apply over here as well,If it looks like a gun then it is.
A butt and a barrel is classed as a gun whatever it is made of,or what it's original use was intended for.
You leave Ossy alone, or I'll get you at playtime
This flippant remark is just the sort of thing we have come to expect from the people of Ossy. Nevertheless, this is a serious development. While in the past there have been numerous instances of waccy-baccy factories being found in the borough and of small scale drug dealers being nicked, this is the first time guns have been found.
The formula as used by police is Drugs + Guns x Gangs = Turf Wars. That is what goes on in parts of Merseyside, south Manchester and bits of inner London. So far in North East Lancs we have been spared the sight of children being gunned down as they cycle home and of no-go areas where people will not venture, but I think we may not now be far away.
Anyway, if I'm approached with an offer to buy some white substance, I shall direct the seller to head south, through Church traffic lights, where he will no doubt get a friendly reception.
