Two men who got into a Friday night fight in a Casselman bar had loaded handguns with them, police say.

Russel County OPP said Saturday they were called to a bar in Casselman, east of Ottawa, because they got a report two men were in an altercation.

Police arrested and charged two men who allegedly had loaded handguns: a 39-year-old from Casselman and a 47-year-old man from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.

Both have been charged with possession of a loaded prohibited or restricted handgun, unauthorized possession of a prohibited or restricted firearm, and obstructing a peace officer.

The 39-year-old from Casselman is also charged with carrying a concealed weapon and failure to comply with a probation order.

Police said they're in custody until a bail hearing and are scheduled to appear in court in L'Orignal on Monday.
