He was asleep when the police arrived and when questioned admitted he had some cannabis and cocaine.
Underneath his bed they found a double barrel shotgun and a stun gun.
In a spare bedroom officers found 126 grams of cannabis and six grams of cocaine were found in the dining room, said Robert Jansen, prosecuting.
A drug dealer's tick list was also discovered as were scales and £990 cash.
Hannigan, 24, said the drugs were for his own use and the money came from buying and selling cars. Although on benefits he said the tick list related to money he had loaned people, said Mr Jansen.
Hannigan said that the guns had been given to him by friends to add to his weapons collection.
Hannigan pleaded guilty to possessing cannabis with intent to supply, possessing cocaine and two fireams offences.
Gareth Bellis, defending, said that Hannigan sold cannabis to fund his cocaine habit.
Jailing Hannigan, who has previous drugs convictions, Judge Gerald Clifton pointed out that people involved with drugs often have weapons to defend themselves.
