Re: Guns
If anyone would care to experience the reality of recreational shooting, the lower trent fish and game club is holding its annual youth day tomorrow.
It will involve kids shooting guns and having lots of fun. Great for first timers and a real canadian family fun day out.
Registration starts at 8:30, ranges open at 9.15

Re: Guns
Service revolvers, there's a thought.
I am not as old as you are. I guess I am Mel Gibson to you being Danny Glover. We just need a Joe Pesci:

Re: Guns
I saw a triffic programme on TV a couple of weeks ago. It was from France. It involved blokes hunting wild boar. They were wearing camo suits. Except that they were Day-Glo, to stop them shooting each other.
Can someone please explain to me the logic of a bright orange camo suit?
It seems to make about as much sense as going on patrol in Kabul wearing a Mod parka.

Re: Guns
Now you mention it, I've got no idea why I thought that.
I did a mix of o levels and gcse's. We was the first year that did them.

Re: Guns
Look, all you gun fanatics are only looking at this from your own point of view. Why don't you understand the same rules that allow you, a responsible gun owner, to have them also allows not only the nutters/criminals (who yes might be able to obtain them illegally or use other weapons) out there to have them but the morons too.
Personally I would like the right to walk through the wilderness without fear of getting shot by some redneck (whose penis is the same size as his IQ so needs a big gun to make up for it) that shoots anything that moves.
You can argue over teaching safety etc all you want but at the end of the day you can't teach stupid, & surely saving just one life of an innocent person from getting accidently shot by an idiot should be more important than your right to have this hobby.

You can't just suddenly shut off the part of your brain that allows you to design dangerous stuff. You can't uninvent them.
What you appear to be arguing there is against accidents, fatal accidents involving firearms are quite rare.
