'evening to you JAYB...

Well there's some hope for me yet ! Soon you'll not have a need to even possess the F/A in order to operate it ?

Jayb,

Looks very scary! You are referring to the dark sunglasses, right?

It is always amusing how add-ons like Picatinny rails and black plastic can make things very Hollywood and very Bad Ass. The law requires that it is always an ordinary single shot bolt action underneath.

You can see the same effect in the mean-looking and black, as the advertisers have it, cars in magazines. Spoilers and so on, but underneath very often just the same old engine, drive train and suspension as ever.

Taking the car parallel further, a Bugatti Veyron would be lethal on our roads, but it and the driver are still subject to laws, some very fundamental. Impractical too, none around of course.

My weapon had two functions. The first to protect me and the second to intimidate the public.
Unfortunately there are far too many idiots and nut cases in the public arena to allow them to carry a weapon.
I think we have a reasonable (what a wonderful word that one is, as a copper it ruled your life)balance in our community today although availability is commonplace.

G'day there CHRISGAFF1000...

Mate it's good to see you; '...on reasonable grounds...', indeed a great word to guide us all in the pursuit of some 'balance' in our professional lives !

You're dead right, there are enough crooks out there with illicit handguns wandering around, without giving everyone a licence to carry ? I'll admit the ease in which you can pick-up yourself a decent Glock or S&W or whatever, is becoming a worry for the boys these days ? Apparently the most reliable of all the gun runners are the Bikies and their 'hangers on' ? As well as having 'big' sway out at Long Bay ? Times are changing eh ? Good to see you back !

Luckily I have never been in a position to run across people I would need to carry a gun for protection against, but I can see the day getting closer.
