I know that there are some very responsible people who go shooting and they probably all have a licence and keep their guns locked up. I have no complaint with their being a gun shop in the town at all - any thriving business should be welcomed from that point of view.

My problems with it are image wise. Imagine a stranger to the town comes to the theatre to see a show and right next door is a shop which encourages people to buy weapons without a licence. Imagine you are a 13 year old impressionable teenage boy from Rhyddings school and you are stood at the bus stop waiting to go home, every day you have a message in front of you saying that guns are readily available in this town.
