When you have performed CPR for 15 minutes and still had your own brother die in your arms, because of the actions of a speeding driver, come back to me on that one.
-
Yeah, it keeps me motivated when I’m feeling the pain. I quite fancy this bike ride too, it goes straight past my house.
-
I stagger my jobs so that I don’t climb every day, I tend to choose the enjoyable ones and get another climber in to do the ugly, ivy covered monstrosities over swimming pools. I work alone quite a bit too, so I am climber and groundy, I just price and pace the job out better. Eating well and keeping active outside of work is essential for me, I had back issues when I first moved out here due to inactivity, the harder I train the less issues I seem to have. I’ll keep climbing until the kids leave home then look at winding up, buy an over lander and just set off.

If you know it’s wrong, go and get yourself tooled up then, it’s not hard to find a gun if you want one. You can walk around in blissful harmony knowing that you won’t be ‘scared, just prepared’ in whatever situation you find yourself in, imagine how safe you will feel whilst purchasing your Elderflower cordial down at Waitrose. If you do get pulled, you will face a 5 year stretch, but you could just argue your individual rights override the law, that degree will certainly come in handy.

I guarantee none of the unfortunate people involved are now advocating for the arming of everyday Australians. I haven’t heard or read anything officially from Australian sources that suggest they are going to advocate a change in the law to allow civilians to arm themselves either. You are not the spokesmen for them and your opinion is yours alone.
-
Okay, that’s not convinced me. A couple of Lithuanians got a bit stabby in an argument over something or nothing, so that justifies the need that I immediately require a handgun to do my weekly shop, oh do behave.
-
You are aware that all these incidents happened in a country where guns are easily available, where gun crime off the charts, mass shootings are a weekly occurrence, and none of us live there?
-
Beautiful little bird, same with Teal, hardly any meat on either.

I once took refuge from the rain in The West of England after giving the XT a run out to the transporter bridge. Got chatting to a group of black guys on the allotments there, growing all kinds of exotic vegetables from their culture. I remember the next pub along ( can’t remember the name) heading into town had all the shoplifters in, selling all their knock off on the tables in there, 50 metres from the cop shop.
-
You watch your back out there Alex, you know how dangerous Greggs can be at this time of day.
-
Or more likely, it’s because you are wrong and no one needs a handgun to do the weekly shop.
-
Because he might wrestle the gun off you because you bottle it, or you just wing him, then he shoots me or the kids with it. Yeah, cheers Alex, thanks for being there. 👍

Fortunately for me, I live in a world, both a physical and mentally, where I am not worried about hypothetical worst case scenario events taking place. I don’t spend my time ‘ imagining’ such things being all around me at all times either, that would be immensely draining and unnecessary brain activity.
-
There are many gun owners on here, some of them will have had handguns before the ban, probably not happy about it, yet I don’t think any of them have agreed with you about allowing the general public in the UK to arm themselves with handguns, why do you think that is?
-
Like I say, get in the real world like the rest of us, the one where the chance of someone pointing a gun at you whilst in Costa is slim to none. And let me frank, someone is waving a screwdriver around at you and you haven’t the balls to tackle him and take him down, you haven’t the balls to point a gun and pull the trigger either.
-
You have either been watching too many films or spent too much time in debating clubs at public school, or both. I suggest you get out more into the real world, you might then recognise how completely unnecessary it is to carry a handgun in the UK, if not you will end up like Squaredy, he is too scared to go out after dark for fear of all the ethnic stabbers. FFS.
-
That’s why we have very highly trained armed police officers in the UK, with a very efficient reaction speed to these incidents, which are spectacularly rare events.
-
What would you rather have, mass shootings in schools or the ability to do Travis impersonations in the mirror?
-
A murky start but just out winding up some loose ends. Tow bar to be fitted to the Freelander 2, a couple of jobs to price up tomorrow and that’s me done for the year. Back to Blighty to visit folks, fish and chips on the pier, curry and a barrel of best bitter. 👍
-
Not until 1944 with the Red Army at the door.
-
Why didn’t the Jews just run armed 1940’s Germans down with their cars and steal their weapons?
-
But he has it, he has been trained to use it, he is on high alert, he probably isn’t on his own, and he isn’t going to give it to you that easily.
-
It would be easier and less risky if you just bought an illegal firearm off the street to carry out such actions. 5 grand would certainly cover it.
-
What happens when you attempt to use your ‘greater force’ but I take it from you and beat you to death with it?

The only way to stop a bad guy in a car is with a good guy in a car.
