German priest hands over arsenal to police, won't disclose name

MUNICH, Germany - A priest in Germany got more than he bargained for during confession when a man not only declared his sins, but also handed over a machine gun and a hand grenade, police in Bavaria said on Tuesday.

“He also gave the priest a cardboard box with a clown’s face and the words ’Red Nose Day March 26, 2004’ on it containing 34 cartridges of 7.65 mm caliber,” police said in a statement.

The priest from the southern town of Pfarrkirchen turned in the weapons to police but told them church rules governing confession prevented him from revealing the man’s identity.

“It’s unclear as to whether the church has forgiven the sinner, but specialists in Bavaria’s regional crime agency who are bound to earthly laws are now investigating the matter in accordance with gun control laws,” police said.
