The air rifles seized by police Picture: WILTSHIRE POLICE These are the air rifles found on a man who blew five times the legal drink drive limit after he was arrested. Police swooped after reports of Joseph McLaughlin holding one of the weapons in The Parade in Swindon town centre on Sunday afternoon. He’d told a town centre security guard he would “shoot someone”. Taken to the police station, the 31-year-old said he’d had the weapons as he wanted to protect his family. He blew 171 on the breath test machine – almost five times the legal drink drive limit.
