Thanks for the reply’s, will have a look into these.

We hired a minibus when we were there a couple of years ago as there were 2 families. We also used Ubers to get about if we were doing different things or were having a few beers. One thing I would say though, depending on when you are going is look at the weather on the day. A couple of times we got stuck relying on Ubers in almost tornado conditions which wasn’t exactly fun. If the weather is going to be dodgy then take the car. That’s where we went as well, the guy picked up on the benelli cap straight away. After a quick demo from the guy behind the counter me and the boy were away to the range. 2x handguns and an automatic AR. Really good fun and a good atmosphere 👍.

Does anybody have any recommendations for shooting insurance? It would be to cover 3 of us ( me and two kids 11 and 14). Do any insurers offer discount if you buy a few policies at the same time? I’ve had a Google and most family policies cover two adults and two or three kids so a bit more than required. Thanks.

Just because it’s not visible doesn’t mean it’s not there though. Who knows what was said? I’m sure it will all come out soon enough.

You’re absolutely right, it’s not the same circumstance. It does however illustrate the point that just because someone is on the floor they can still be viewed, and treated as a threat.

Is the threat gone once on the ground? The armed policeman at Manchester airport didn’t seem to think so. And as far as I know he hasn’t been prosecuted (correct me if I’m wrong but I haven’t heard anything to say that he has). I am not condoning what he did, all I am saying is that there may be more to it than a loss of temper. But I’m sure we will find out in time.

Possibly. But again it depends on the level of threat (if that’s what it was). If someone threatened to kill you, would you stop punching when they were on the deck? Again this is just total speculation, he might have just overreacted. In which case it should be treated the same as any other common assault.

Playing devils advocate here, but it wasn’t really a sucker punch. They were standing face to face, a sucker punch usually comes from behind or the side when the other person is otherwise distracted. And without knowing what was said it is hard to know if it was in self defence or not. The other fella might have threatened to kill him or stab him or whatever, and if that was the case then I would say he was within his rights to put him down.

No, in the same way as a person using a knife to chop carrots is not armed. Until the object is used as a weapon, it is just a tool intended for purpose.

The term “armed” doesn’t have to relate to firearms. Armed robbery can include a whole manner of weapons. So in this case, as he was using a motor vehicle as a weapon against police. Then yes, I would say he was most definitely armed.

Funny what comes out after the verdict. https://news.sky.com/story/amp/chris-kaba-was-core-member-of-gang-and-gunman-in-nightclub-shooting-days-before-he-was-killed-by-police-13234555

What kind of gun is it? I’ll run it in for you if you like 😃

I have a pair of MSA sordin, I bought them secondhand about 14 years ago. They are brilliant, I were them all the time when clay pigeon shooting.

I have been following this thread, but had nothing really to add to it. But 4 beers in on a Friday night, when someone describes another human being as “a pointless non entity” it does seem time to weigh in. And I must say, you seem particularly crass in your remark.

We went to the shooting gallery a couple of years ago when we were in Florida. Would recommend it, really helpful friendly staff.
