Well… Fuck. I guess it’s still up in the air, and I’m not really up to speed on tourism regulations, but I imagine the UK might not be cool with allowing someone with a pending assualt charge entry into their country.
Firearms charges normally mean a visa is rejected, so it may well be off. I guess we’ll see what happens.
