Indeed. Superb gun but daft action.

Surprisingly not. The inner pane took the full force and found that incredible.
Glazier explained the design aspects.

Because we shouldn’t need guns in this country? I don’t know anyone with a gun. Why would I need a gun?

It’s a rural thing I guess. A fair few people I know own guns.
Plenty around here into Pheasant shooting.
I shoot for local farmers, pigeons mainly.
The air gun keeps the tree rats, squirrels and crows at bay.

From the inside? I would have just ponied up for a replacement and not involved the insurance company tbh.

I might be having a sense of humour failure here but the lack of concern about discharging a firearm indoors is alarming.

It’s an air gun.
Was like a tutorial showing my boss on the computer screen.
He blames himself for asking me. It wasn’t loaded, I loaded it whilst giving him a demonstration. Thus then needed to discharge it by firing into the lawn out the back.
Unfortunately the window had been closed. I can honestly assure you that wife, kids and dog were all inside the house and nobody can enter our back garden.
Yes dick head I know :)

One of those I guess that in time you will look back and smile.
I’ve had a shot gun since 16 and guns all my life and safety is paramount number one. This was simply daft but if you didn’t smile you would cry type of thing.

I’ve had more accidents fishing than shooting.

You know what i didnt expect anything else from you - honest repsonse and now I feel a right bell for having a go. Sorry.

Just to assuage some guilt - i got a fish hook (with barb) right into my thumb.

Seen all the advice about snipping off the barb and pushing it through but i took 2 Man Up pills and just rived it back out.

IT KNACKED!

Don’t you apologise mate.
The fishing by the way is woeful today. Best accident a ledger weight between the eyes once.
I have to laugh at myself.

Because it’s not the USA?

i have accepted his logic, but it’s generally not needed in the U.K.

Mine are very much needed.
Foxes kill my poultry so i shoot the fox. Rabbits destroy my hedges, I shoot the rabbits.
Crows peck the eyes out of my piglets, I shoot the crows

Venison is tasty
Tell me again why only Americans are allowed them? I would argue that they need them less than I do
