I remember at the time, how those harden criminals would be shaking in their shoes, "well that's it lads we can't go on with that armed robbery tomorrow the government has just banned us from having handguns, we either scrap the idea or we just stick with the sawn of Purdy":rolleyes:

Jay, love the idea of a sawn off Purdy. The type of folk who can afford to own a Purdy aren't going to be sawing them off so your crims must have had to nick those first and doctor them before they can get on with their real robbery!
