What a prick!! I reckon they should start licensing all air guns, I was dead set against it but this couple of weeks has changed my mind.

why would he have a rifle at training. With all his money he earns he could afford to buy any gun he wishes, but i bet it was a cheap hatsan springer lol

Well he won't have had permission to use the gun on the grounds so he committed armed trespass. What's betting that no charges are made.

This one is the best:

Look at the gun photographed, it's BRNO/CZ rimfire...

Honestly he's an utter penis. I doubt he will get prosecuted though.

If that was one of us we would be banged up by now - bloody typical! I bet he doesn't even get a slap on the wrist!

I bet the police wont even get involved, Can you remember Diego Maradonna shooting the press out side his house years ago with an air rifle?

I know what an idiot i dont agree about licencing though we're not all idiots like this moron here's the story look:

The News Of The World reported that Cole was "larking about" with the weapon, which he brought to the state of the art complex at Cobham complete with a muzzle and nightscope, when he discharged it from a distance of five feet.
Tom Cowan, a sports science student at Loughborough University who is on a year's work placement with Chelsea, was in the dressing room when the incident happened last Sunday.
Sources at Chelsea told the News of the World how the student was tended to by Chelsea medical staff and given several days off to recover from the shock.
But his wound had still not healed two days later and he had to be looked at again by medical staff.
Several first team members are said to have witnessed the incident.
The News Of The World said that Cowan was called into a meeting with "deeply worried" Chelsea officials on Wednesday to discuss the accident and a day later the 21-year-old's father held further discussions with the club and demanded to know what action against Cole would be taken.
"It's truly inconceivable that a Premier League footballer could bring a gun to the training ground," a source told the newspaper.
"But Ashley pulled the rifle from a box and started larking about with it in the changing room, not realising it was loaded. It ended up pointed at Tom just five feet away.
"The gun went off with a loud pop and Tom screamed as this lead pellet hit him in the side. It went through his clothing and into his flesh."
Cole is reported to have formally apologised to Cowan after receiving a severe dressing down from the club.
It is not illegal to possess a .22 air rifle without a licence but the incident could be deemed actual bodily harm, which carries a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment and an unlimited fine.
Neither the club nor Cole have released a statement regarding the incident.

The reporter says the rifle was complete with a 'scope and muzzle - not trying to detract from the seriousness of the story, but the reporter obviously doesn't know much about 'guns' or the muzzle wouldn't have even been mentioned.

As professional footballers are allegedly seen as role models, perhapsthe best idea woul be to lock him up for this 'accident' so that the kids who copy, can see what happens.

what a twenty four carrot plonker he is

hope they throw the book at him 5 years and 25 grand fine and £3 million for the kid
