How you doing JB? Ready to buy a 12 string yet?

I can see your point here mate, that's perhaps the difference . . .

Anything that's dealt with using discernment, respect and skill is likely to be safer than ignoring those attributes - sadly that's what we tend to see reported from the USA.

On my visits, seeing how glibly and over-confidently some folks seemed to handle loaded weapons was worriesome - I used to go to shooting clubs regularly when I did States trips with Airtours and MyTravel airlines.

Combined with the 'reset' button on a computer game, there is some question that the irresponsible don't realise reality until it's too late. Firing at people is REAL, not a game.

That said, I met some really responsible, friendly and knowledgable shooters and instructors, they would not cause me any grief at all.

Begs the question about the efficacy of Gun Law and how discerning the authorities are.

I can't see there are any winners in this kind of situation, only losers of one degree or another, victims or NoK.
