Teenagers who carry guns face 10 years in jail
Teenagers who carry fire-arms could face jail sentences of up to 10 years in a crackdown on Britain's flourishing gun culture.
Home Secretary David Blunkett will introduce a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of 10 for 16- and 17-year-olds caught carrying or distributing guns. The maximum sentence was previously only two years.
