There is no legal handgun ownership in UK But the US will provide!!
Dateline 25 Jan 2011LONDON -- British and American authorities are conducting a joint criminal investigation into charges that a former U.S. Marine smuggled at least 66 guns into the U.K. Police now fear that many of the weapons, which include Glock and Ruger 9 mm pistols, are in the hands of gangsters in northwest England, the Press Association reports.
Steven Greenoe -- who was born in New Orleans but holds British citizenship -- was questioned in May by TSA agents at Raleigh-Durham Airport in North Carolina after scanners spotted gun parts scattered throughout his luggage, according to court documents obtained by the London Times. Greenoe allegedly talked his way past the TSA workers, claiming he was a legitimate arms dealer and that the guns were dummy "engineering samples," not working firearms.
The workers accepted his explanation and let him board the short flight to Atlanta, where he caught another plane to the northern English city of Manchester. CNN reports that Greenoe is suspected of making that same
run at least nine times in 2009 and 2010. 
He was arrested at Raleigh airport in July with 16 handguns in his luggage, after British police tipped off U.S. authorities. Greenoe told investigators that he was an international security consultant and that the weapons were meant for employees working in hazardous areas, such as the pirate-patrolled waters off Somalia.
The exact nature of Greenoe's work, however, is difficult to decipher. His LinkedIn profile indicates that he is chief executive of security consultancy for the Jolie Rouge Group, but the company's website provides no evidence of any work it has carried out and doesn't list its office address, a contact e-mail or a telephone number.
The 37-year-old is now being held without bond at Pitt County jail until his trial, which is scheduled for March, WRAL.com reports. Greenoe has been charged with illegally exporting firearms without a license and falsifying an ATF form. British authorities have not ruled out bringing their own charges against him.
