I knew this comment was going to come up and I disagree. That would give would be thiefs an excuse when on the rob. If your sneaking about someone's farm at that time in the morning then prepare to be shot.I'm pretty sure anyone poaching a few rabbits doesn't want to be anywhere near the farmhouse. I'm not sure it would tbh. To use such a level of force it's quite right that you have to reasonably be in fear of your life. Now you should absolutely be allowed to arm yourself when protecting your family or property, that doesn't give you free reign though to shoot on sight, only if the t

I hope you are right. But it should never get to this stage. If he wasn't a doddery old boy and instead was a strong rough type character who a jury might look on less sympathetically then he could easily be prosecuted and that's wrong. What he did any man/woman in a country that values individual liberty should completely support and explicitly and leniently be given the right to in law/the constitution. God I'm sick of listening to progressive types hark on about liberties for gays to marry and minorities to flourish when the most fundamental liberty in a democracy is being pissed on and

Personally I can't stress enough how highly I put the right for an individual to defend their family and property from violence, damage or theft. For me he should have been well within his rights to go out there with a f***ing Uzi! All this 'reasonable force' is all well and good in the court room, it's a different matter in the dark on your own faced with an unknown quantity! Like I said, this country expects people to be victims when we have a heritage of the opposite! It's outrageous! It's not even like the old boys suspicions of what he could be facing were unfounded. That piece of

There's no such thing as an all round cartridge in my book. Depending on what I'm after I'll have 30g#6, 32g#5, 40g#4 or 36gBB. Even depends what gun I have. I'm not much of a fan of shooting these RC HPFs out of my O/U (give me a headache! LOL) but they're great out the auto.

Thats a bit of a short sighted view in itself though as you will grow the market for the products and when you run out of stock, there will be a higher demand than ever, they should flood the market with fake horn (toe nail clippings) that would take the shine off these fancy parties once word got round they were drinking toenails Why would it necessarily grow the market? They're not increasing supply just taking the revenue from what part of it they can catch. And it's not a stand alone solution, it's a means of making things better than they are. It's all very well pretending that these t

It's a bit shit but peanuts compared to the two every day that are poached in SA's Kruger National Park. It does make me laugh that when hauls of black market horn and ivory are confiscated the result is to destroy them as some sort of symbol or statement. Far more sensible, although uncomfortable for the environmentalist sorts, would be to flood the market and consequentially conservation budgets with these confiscated gains. The market doesn't just disappear with lack of supply, it drives the price up making the risk of poaching more rewarding! It's time conservationists had a dose o

LOL, I'm not in a rush to watch it but it looks alright. Made me laugh when they said they would go swimming until they saw a great white nail a dolphin right by the boat, then they thought better of it!

I kinda like the idea of a bicameral system but I can't help but feel it's redundant. The implementation of the Lords, and the Senate for that matter, was to ensure the wealthy were represented more strongly in the democratic system to stop the common folk damaging the country by being short sighted. If we elect the parliamentarians of the upper house, then how is that any different to just having a single house, unicameralism? There has to be some distinction I think, and with a good political reason to justify it. The justification to the Senate is good and relevant, it makes the voi

Bad Grouping But It Will Do.
Born Hunter replied to walshie's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I shot a 40 S&W in South Carolina a few years ago. There's so much choice. After you get over deciding how you want your eggs for breakfast, and whether you want bacon or sausage, toast or hash browns, you get offered just as much choice at the gun range. Revolver or semi-auto? Double action or single action? Which calibre? Which make of gun? Which target do you want? I want that one...... Yeah, they like their freedom, LOL. If pistols were legalised very liberally tomorrow I'd be out to buy at least two that afternoon! I fecking hate our gun laws but I'll save you a rant. -

Bloody great fun ain't it! Had a play with 22, 40S&W, 9mm and 45ACP myself and definitely preferred the 9mm. I'd like to try 357mag at some point too. Poxy UK gun laws! LOL -
The media's priorities aren't based on importance, it's based on popularity. If something is more popular with their chosen demographic then that's going to get more coverage.

Not sure I understand why Stoke is being portrayed as the 'Brexit capital' when a handful of places in the East Mids had higher proportion of Leave votes.... Numbers mean f**k all, it's percentages that matter. Bit of a false portrayal.

It's like how there were almost no Trump supporting Hollywood stars, if they came out for Trump they would probably never work again. The only one that comes to mind is Jon Voight. I wouldn't be suprised if the likes of Mel Gibson and Kurt Russel also supported him. But you're right. On the more general topic of this thread, I think celebs feel they have a social duty to be political because of their position. At the same time they're no better placed to make a political judgement than a mechanic or builder! I have a bit of respect for the likes of Angelina Jolie mind, she seems to
