TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - An antique pistol fatality: consideration of the legal and pathological aspects: a case report JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Cook, Deborah S. A1 - James, Ryk S. SP - 351 EP - 354 VL - 42 IS - 4 N2 - This article presents a case report of a shooting using an antique pistol. The unusual pathological findings are presented, together with a review of the law in this area. It seems that there is currently a loophole in the 1997 Firearms Act by means of which 'enthusiasts' or 'collectors' may legally possess weapons and then subsequently acquire ammunition illegally.
