    I cycles through Cornwall some years back. Beautiful country! Had I known about the shop I would have stopped and busted a few clay birds!

    That is sad, especially knowing how you love shooting. It is also sad what some would like done here in the states. So far we are fortunate. Let us hope it stays that way.

    we can have rifles but we have to give a resaon for each one we apply for, ,22 rifle is not good enough for fox shooting but 243 is,and hand guns are banned over here,so thats a no no.

    sorry if it seems like we're asking questions that one should easily be able to find answers for in the 'information age' but we can't believe what we read and hear in the news outlets any more because they just make stuff up. Even google is fudging search results.

    Sadly I did not own my own gun until I was maybe 17 but remember having access to a bb gun when I was about 6 and a .22 when I was about 10. I'd hate to be without one and don't plan on losing my guns either.

    over in the usa you have the right to own guns, we dont.if we get in trouble with the police we could lose our guns,if we have a bad illness, we could have them taken away,if we have to go on any kind of drugs to make us better,

    I bought my first gun, a 22 rifle, when I was about11 or 12. Mom and Dad found out about it a week after I had it paid for and home. Late 50's-early 60's were great years.

    If I remember correctly my first .22 rifle cost less than $15. A bit less than today's prices.

    I enjoy the clays a bit. Friday there is a fundraiser tournament to support the Sheriff Youth Ranch. Team two from my office got second place last year.

    Good time at a private luxury facility.

    One of the bad things about restrictions in s many countries is the limitation for the collectable realm of some firearms. If a cache of WW2 arms is discovered, it seems that the US is the only market. Unless I am not correct. I am sure that a special license might be had in some countries, but I doubt that if some Garands would become available, a buyer could say " I'll take twenty, please"

    I had forgotten but after getting married, one day when I returned home from work my wife handed me a new rifle; at least new to me. It was a British .303 and it turned out to be a great rifle. I sort of chewed on her for buying it as our money was a bit tight then until I found that shipping included, she paid $12 for it.
