It is not as though we are in the centre of London. We live in the countryside. Shooting and countryside tend to go together don't you think? I have just been and and passes the 'sign'. It is not larger than many of the other signs in the town. To answer your question, No I don't think it gives a bad image to Oswaldtwistle.

Out of interest Gayle how many people mentioned the gun sign on your non-campaigning questionnaire you recently sent out?

Your challenge is to photograph any other illuminated signs of the same size on Union Road, that extends at right angles from any shop front. Good luck as there aren't any.

Quite a lot of interest about the shops in our 'dieing' town. Thank you.

Re: Oswaldtwistle's gun shop

At the moment only two of the 26,000 are expressing having a problem. It’s not my town I know, but we do have certain freedoms in this county and I think it’s important that majority rule is sustained. This is a business operating in the open and legally. Push to hard and the chap might just take away his sign, blackout his windows and operate beyond your scrutiny. Personally, I’d like to keep gun shops in the open….As you have pointed out there is a vermin problem in the town and it is semi rural and rural people uses air weapons to control vermin, rabbits and to scare off the occasional fox.

Re: Oswaldtwistle's gun shop

I have no problem with this shop or what it sells, as I've said umpteen times already. I'm just very suprised it didn't need planning permission, as it would in many other parts of the country, especially when the powers that be have decided that apparently straight opposite is deemed a conservation area.

Re: Oswaldtwistle's gun shop

to be honest; i travel past there on the bus a lot and i always without looking for it notice the GUNS sign jutting out; makes me sink into my bus seat and get very suspicious of one of the windows smashing to smitherines!!

what? too many Yosemite Sam cartoons? never!

I know exactly who is reading this and I use the word 'non' with the same irony that you did.
