    Thats a can of worms that could land someone in trouble, illegal importation of firearm charges, possession of firearm without a licence etc. I'd avoid that situation if i were you.

    As said above you are into a world of trouble.


    AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.


    Any association with your mate will land you in some or as much trouble. There is no way to license a firearm without giving the source of it. Putting down "My mate's gun that he sneaked back in his suitcase" will not fly.

    He will get in trouble for having an unlicensed firearm, illegal importation of a firearm (offence against the state not just a firearm issue).


    As this is a seriously awkward position, and any advice need legal thought i'm temporarily closing the thread upon discussion by the mods. OP will be PM'ed directly.
