A court heard Brian Cairns was “blissfully unaware” of the recent laws introduced prohibiting the possession of air rifles. Police found the weapon in a cupboard after a search of the 39-year-old’s Canning Place home on March 8 last year. Defence solicitor Jim Caird said the rifle had been “languishing” in a cupboard unused for several years. Cairns was fined £100 by Sheriff George Way.
