Gina thanks for the view of common sense here and I understand some of the predjudice's that you probably face working within the rail network but thank god that the majority of your "customers" must abide by the law of the land and don't carry otherwise we would have mayhem.
Phil as Gina mentioned the sixties I WAS brought up in those times (born '53) and I beleive they were definitely NOT restrictive in any way. MODS & ROCKERS and a lot of the culture that we relish were born of this land, seaside scraps would have been bloodbaths, British Music and musicians leading the world were of this "restrictive" era.
This so called restrictive society has encouraged and bred many outstanding characters and leaders from all other fields Arts, Science, Culture.
All this done without "freedom " to carry guns.
"""I have never had to use a weapon in defense of a life and I hope I never have to. However....."""
I'll bet most regular/ normal/ balanced people think this.... then why do it? Its just an accident waiting to happen, how many other accidental shootings have there already been. Take away the so called "freedom" and seriously reduce the risk of incidents.
No offence meant to you all who disagree but I find it very hard to understand, I do have experience here in UK as my brother at one time had an arsenal at home(gun club member) collector of replicas, working hand/shot guns and rifles. Impressive but awfull pieces of kit with a potential for extreme sadness. Ever since restriction were greatly increased, and I think it was Hungerford that finally got him to come to his senses and found other hobbies.... back to motorcycles.... (dangerous, potential for extreme sadness.. whoops)
Cheers Mike
