In London it would probably be confiscated & then destroyed.
My concerns were mainly centered on spending the rest of my life in a prison and not on the disposition of the firearm. 
You wouldn't get imprisoned for so long for such a silly thing in this country.

As long as you declared it before they found it in your luggage, that would possibly not be a crime, but the gun would be confiscated.
With a faint possibility of it being returned to you in the USA, I dunno about that last bit.

In a George Michael kind of way? 
Like a Craven Cottager?

Oi! You leave me and my gaily-nicknamed football team alone, Mr 'I forgot the game was on'.
Sorry bout that
I did want Fulham to win.
They used to be my local team.
Besides I'm a Liverpool fan so Athletico winning really got up my nose.

Hmmm, I suppose I might let you off. Similarly, Liverpool used to be my local team.

Robyn needs to take things easier. 
I didn't do any work today, and I'm already going mad about that fact. Revision has been happening for just over 3 weeks now, and I'm just so fed up of it. 
My first is on Tuesday and my last on Thursday, but just argh. I know nothing.

Weren't we having an almost exact same conversation a year ago? 
You'll do brilliantly, I'll bet. Just allow yourself to accept that you can't revise all the time. You'll be absolutely fine Scats. Avoid getting yourself in a tizz about it; it's just counterproductive.
