In the wrong hands anything can be dangerous, we hear of mothers that are ill, feeding their children with excess salt! That does not actually make all mothers and salt dangerous, only the combined circumstance of sick mothers and too much salt, a similar thing can be said about fire-arms.

It is all very well to pick on this shop and his merchandise but, come on, can we get serious? His customers will be 99.99% enthusiasts not nutters he is probably more responsible than any of us to decide who he sells these items to!

I had a brief military career and during that time I was taught how to use these so called weapons with responsibility, my actual trade was in communications and the chance's of me actually firing in earnest were next to nil. However I managed a grade of 'marksman'.

The fear the majority of people suffer isn't the gun or rifle, it is the 'nutter', but they exist in many forms, I bet if you were to go into his shop you would not only be given advice about the device you want to buy but also clubs where you can fire them in safety.

The use of the greatest majority of any fire-arms is for the harmless sport of target shooting, why? because the owners know the potential dangers and always look for safety first.

The olympics which we all want our nation to do well at includes target shooting I bet if we came last you would all be saying "tsk yet another we haven't invested in".


So far as the sign? I hardly ever notice it due to the fact when I'm driving past the road is always crowded because buses are forced to off and on load in the middle of the road, causing tail backs which need careful consideration.

I believe this is part of the dangerous thing called Traffic calming!
