  1. Fair comments, scothunter, but I don't think we're going to allow the safety aspect of the current legislation to be completely overturned. I mean how many people take dad's rimfire into school to settle a dispute? A lot less than carry kitchen knives and aren't afraid to use them. Personal protection, IMHO is a right. If anyone wishes me harm I should be allowed to match force with force. If I'm on the wrong end of the victim equation, then I should have the right to use a force multiplier to keep me alive breathing and providing for my family. As should everyone else. The wolves will
  2. Maybe I'm just deluded? I believe that my fate is in my hands, not waiting for the police to respond to a 999 call. Why shouldn't a 7st woman be allowed to fatally shoot a 15st rapist? Why shouldn't a 10st account be allowed to defend himself, against a gang of lads wielding knives as they try to steal his laptop as he's on his way back to his car? It's not about how many gunshots you hear it's about ending this balance of victim disarmament and criminal entitlement. When the police arrive you're already a statistic.
  3. So if I'm immediately threatened, my life in peril, I should have to wait for the police to arrive?
  4. Some of them were. Would so much property have been damaged if British citizens were allowed to legally defend themselves, meeting force with force? EDIT: Why has the Dunblane inquiry evidence been locked away for 100 years?
  5. With that in mind, what should Auntie Vera do? The police are going to turn up after the event.
  6. The current law is indeed ridiculous. Self defence is a right not a privelege. If I may, here. The highest violent crime rates, in the US, are the places where there are the most restrictions on firearms. In 82' Kennesaw, in Georgia, passed a law making it mandatory for all heads of household to have at least one firearm in the house. Residential burglary dropped a staggering 89% and Kennesaw's violent crime rate is still 85% lower than the national average. I know the internet is home to the bullshit statistic, but that one is researchable as is the data suggesting that Britains
  7. War Dogs of the Pacific used to be shown pretty frequently on the National Geographic channel. It's f***ing gut wrenching though...
  8. I personally didn't administer an injection. It was done by a vet. I'm not sure what the AI was, as different ones have been used, but it's basically an overdose of anesthetic. I can hear the cash register, going kerching, so I'll elaborate. I have never dealt with feral cats, for free. My pest management solutions cost the client, or they kept whatever the problem species was. Taking Tiddles to the vets, was factored into the price, as I believe that this is one of those sensitive jobs that requires an extra level of care when dealing with the customer, and any potential failing i
  9. Just to clear this up a bit. If you're asking what the best calibre is, for feral cats, on a public hunting forum, I feel you're already bringing unnecessary attention to what you need to be doing. Especially as muppets, like me, get to read and comment on it. Joe Public doesn't give a shit about cockroaches, and mice, but when you start talking about taking Tiddles, to the afterlife, you're already calling in a f**k tonne of negative PR. We all know what works but some jobs really don't need to be broadcasted... Chris out...
  10. I was actually taking the piss. Shooting a cat, in a live trap, is going to ensure you get all the wrong attention. Location, ricochet, trap damage, etc. Point blank with a .22LR, or 12G, is overkill IMHO. Air rifle will do the job but again when they find out you're that guy you'll pretty much blackball yourself, same as the guys that don't back-fill digs. Live trap. Removal from the site, followed by lethal injection. Did it for years. Still do. Don't know of a better way.
  11. Chris; What range / load / choke do ye recommend for this? Only, frankly, I'm in a bit of a situation here ..... I have a cat trap that I value hugely. It's a very old, very good trap. A genuine Fuller. I loan it out to my neighbour, when a feral turns up and starts destroying our mutual hay store. Only trouble is; He has this tendency to drop the whole damn lot in a cattle trough! That's just f**king Wrong. Yet, I've honestly just never known what load, distance, choke combination I could point at the trap. The one that would dispatch the cat cleanly, while not knocking the shit
  12. Have a look at Cold Steel's Special Forces Shovel. Don't be put off by the name. They're a copy of the old soviet issue trenching spade. They work really well.
  13. What would the panel say if Sgt Blackman shot, and killed, Duggan?
  14. What if he was wearing a marine's uniform, before he decided to shoot?
  15. You get around 75 years, on this rock. If you're lucky. Why the f**k wouldn't you want to enjoy every waking moment? Pete said quality over quantity. I'll drink/smoke/kebab to that.
  16. I love The Smiths but he's a sanctimonious twat like McCartney... Just because he's talented doesn't mean I'm going to start doing what he does. In fact I want someone to jam his tamborine up his arse.
  17. I don't know what the deal is, with that, mate. I've just clicked your link. Cut & Pasted the same link to the post.
  18. I tried that and right clicking on the vid and clicking copy video url. Used to work I'm sure. Post a link and let's see it from this end
  19. Are you posting the full link in the browser?
