A GANGLAND enforcer suspected of an Ice Cream Wars mass murder turned up for a photo shoot with a loaded Magnum revolver.
Street photographer Brian Anderson spent three days with Gary Moore, who worked as an underworld hardman for Glasgow godfather Arthur Thompson, taking photos of him around the city.
Now, on the 40th anniversary of the Ice Cream Wars, Brian has revealed all about his chaotic experience dealing with Moore.
In 2010, Moore confessed on his deathbed to having been responsible for the deaths of six members of the Doyle family in an arson attack in 1984, as gangs battled for control of the city's lucrative ice cream and drug trades.
But Anderson says the "psychopath" showed no remorse over the deaths during their photoshoot around Glasgow in 2004.
The snapper arranged to photograph Moore but was stunned when the gangster, high on drink and drugs, pulled out a loaded Magnum pistol in Glasgow's George Square and refused to part with it.
Anderson, 53, said: "I had to go to his flat in Govanhill. I walked into a scene that was unbelievable, with bottles of vodka lying around.
"It was as if the guy had been partying for a decade. He woke up and had no idea why I was there.
"We went to different locations. When I went to meet him on the second day, in George Square, Moore staggered towards me tucking into a fish supper.
"Then he pulled out a Magnum pistol in broad daylight and started waving it about.
