A SHORT NOTE REGARDING LAND MINES:

IN GREAT BRITAIN, THE LANDMINES ACT FORBIDS ANYONE TO OWN, SELL, BUY OR OWN COMPLETE LANDMINES, OR ANY OF THEIR COMPONENTS. THIS LANDMINES ACT IS LAW, AND IF YOU ARE CAUGHT DOING ANY OF THE ABOVE, YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED.

I HAVE RECENTLY HAD LENGTHY CONVERSATIONS WITH THE POLICE (WHO HAVE GIVEN ME AN EXTRACT FROM THE LAW BOOK RELATING TO THIS ISSUE) REGARDING A GERMAN S MINE THAT I HAD CONFESCATED WHEN I WAS REPORTED TO THE POLICE BY THE DTI.

EVEN IF THE ITEM IS FILLED WITH RESIN, AND TOTALLY DEACTIVATED, IT IS ILLEGAL TO BUY, SELL, IMPORT, OR OWN THESE ITEMS UNDER BRITISH LAW.

ALL AMMUNITION SHOULD BE FILLED WITH RESIN OR ANOTHER PERMANENT SOLID SOLUTION, SO THE ITEM CANNOT BE USED OR MADE LIVE AGAIN.

THE SAME LAWS DO NOT APPLY IN OTHER COUNTRIES, SO THESE ITEMS WILL COME UP FOR SALE. IT IS YOUR DECISION AS TO WHETHER YOU BUY THEM AND BREAK THE LAW. MY NEWSLETTER IS HERE AS AN INFORMATION REFERENCE, AND NOT AN ORDER TELLING YOU NOT TO BUY. I CANNOT STOP ANYONE BUYING THESE ITEMS, AND CAN ONLY ADVISE YOU OF THE CURRENT SITUATION. THE FINAL DECISION IS DOWN TO YOU.

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT ANY LIVE ITEMS ARE ILLEGAL IN ALL CASES, AND SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO THE POLICE AS SOON AS YOU ARE IN POSSESION OF THEM. AN EXPLANATION THAT YOU ARE A COLLECTOR, AND YOU BOUGHT THESE FROM A SELLER ON THE BASIS THAT THEY WERE INERT WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY SAVE YOU FROM PROSECUTION.

BE SENSIBLE. THESE THINGS ARE DANGEROUS, AND SOMETIMES MORE UNSTABLE THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. FOR YOUR SAFETY, AND THAT OF OTHERS, PLAY BY THE BOOK, AND LIVE BY THE LAW
