Divided Kingdom

[Dan Dare 19]

Ah well, that's different then.

 

I think the trick is to get on with it and not worry about the stuff that is out of your control.

 

I live in London and own various shooty things, I draw the curtains before I clean them, don't break the law and don't therefore anticipate any problems.

 

I do occasionally worry about taking the rifles from the house to the car but a selection of fishing bags solved that one.

 

Relax, the sun is shining and life is good just now.

Good advice. Spring's been a long time coming, but seems it's really here at last. That old sun always lifts the spirits. I live in the Smoke, too (Peoples' Republic of Islington) and know what you mean about worrying that the neighbours might have a fit if they see you with something in a gun-shaped case. Fortunately, I play the bass, so when I take my guns out, I use a couple of gig bags. HW95 is almost exactly the same length as a Fender Precision and fits in a treat. I visited my daughter in Manchester recently and went by train (cheaper than petrol with the senior railcard and much quicker). I had arranged to buy a gun up there, so took a bass bag. When I got on the train to come home, a bunch of lads returning from the footie were saying "get yer guitar out and give us a tune, mate". Decided it was best not to show them what I really had in it

It's a funny ol' thing - I grew up on a council estate in a town then, 10yrs ago, we moved to semi-rural Wiltshire to raise our daughter. I've been back to hunting wth air rifles for about 2 1/2yrs.

 

One of my permissions has public rights of way cutting through it in a few places. I always try to be discreet when I see people because I'm carrying a rifle but, to date, I haven't met anyone here that gave a toss.

 

They either just say 'Hi', stop and chat for a minute or, just wish me 'good luck'.

 

So far so good

Sitting outside having a cuppa I often hear the odd shotgun or rifle shot. Took some getting used to being an ex-townie. People look at you funny if you haven't got a gun here.

That's Bishops Nympton for you

True enough ive been reported as a terrorist whilst out pigeon shooting by the horse ponces live in the country but from elsewhere,even the police where laughing their heads off whilst speaking to me as the farmer confirmed i was all legit .The neighbours are cool with my shooting as Venison/Pigeon and Pheasant taste mmmmmm nice but im weary of the brainwashed Packham brigade who think meat comes vacuum packed from Tesco,s

Brainwashed Packham brigade who think meat comes vacuum packed from Tesco,s

Always good when one feels safe out and about.

 

All the very best to you and yours Baldcoot

So say hello to my little friend never went through your mind. I am assuming they was not Millwall Supporters like I am.

Contentment and safety for ones family and self is number one priority, it goes to show that there are places in the UK where it can be found.

Same here Dave - let's sort it. I'll get the first round in

[Dan Dare 19]

Happy birthday for next Tuesday, Renos and great to hear you and the wife have been together for so long. Got together with my missus in 1982 and lost her to breast cancer in 2013. She was lovely and completely mad (she must have been for putting up with me).
