Well, you attract "interesting" people...I seem to attract the dull, aggravating and manipulative...

Before my time; have wondered on occasion whether I was born at the right time when I see music stuff 1965 on, compared to the dross I had to endure in the 80s...

Now...thinking of dogs as probably the most awesomest creatures on the planet, I probably would have voted for him myself, BUT I do wonder whether there might be any say, issues with him carrying out official civic duties. I mean, does Duke get some sort of adviser/trainer/handler or something...

This is the official line (it doesn't get any more official...) from our government's website: https://www.gov.uk/reasonable-force-against-intruders Not a situation I would like to put to the test by the way... WRT the OP, there's no harm in doing a bit of googling and asking around...

If they made one with say, a 15 inch barrel and shoulder stock (as part of the gun, not an add on), it'd be good for the British market...

...and RR is and has been for years, owned by VW-Audi...which isn't a bad thing, given the realities of car manufacturing today...

Thanks for that :)

As per the wiki link...

Been watching true crime documentaries about cases in the UK and the US. Just seen this one - thought it might be of interest - some of you will have heard of it, it did make the news at the time in the states. Here's an overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Martin_(farmer) and here's a...

I don't understand why he's singled out for criticism as a racist: for much of his adult life, there was segregation in the Southern states, the army he served in was segregated until the late 40s and then there was the US government national initiative, Operation Wetback in 1954...

beat me to it...:) The articles written by Askins for Guns Magazine came across as quite level headed and reasoned if I remember correctly in contrast to other writers who seemed to just moan about how everything was better in the old days...

Europe gets a slagging from many nowadays for being metrosexual/socialist whatever, but I much prefer that to say, the way it was in 1940-1945...

Yeah, I bet he's very fit relative to age; I think he's always looked after himself - he was an elite climber awhile back - 5.9 grade or something - there's a specific grading system for climbers I read. He'd have to think up something relevant to 80 somethings that would be believable for the...

I'm the opposite tbh; don't think I ever enjoyed a film directed by him...not quite sure why

As some have pointed out, it's about weighing up the good and bad and drawing a conclusion. I'm sure there's plenty of 1950s books with "what is the world coming to?!!" stuff about how much better things were in the 1920s... ISTR reading that the older generation didn't like Elvis Presley - all...

Wouldn't his attorney(?) have advised something like that?

A bit off topic, but relevant and may be of interest and educational (I mean, I like to keep up to date with what goes on in the US), this is the official line here: https://www.cps.gov.uk/publications/prosecution/householders.html It's all about reasonable force, which is the same I think, as...

You know, this case has similarities to that of Tony Martin...

RIP; condolences to the families

The majority of firearms owners in the UK are those into the shotgun games or game; one reason being shotguns are easier to own than stuff firing bullets. Chances are, those shooters probably wonder what the fuss is with regard to how strict UK firearms laws are unlike us pistol shooters...
