The allegations, to which he pleaded not guilty, stated that he did not have a valid licence whilst being in possession of a .32 Taurus revolver.
It was also alleged that he had in his possession, seven matching rounds without being the owner of a licence.
Court documents revealed that on July 31 at a bar within the vicinity of Georgetown, Winter was seen with the said firearm strapped to his waist by a police officer who was on patrol.
