Company : BWM Arms Address : Unit 2 Moorbrook Park Hawksworth Town : Didcot County : Oxfordshire Post Code : OX11 7HP Telephone : 01235-514 550 Ask for the Gunsmith. One dealt with me direct - first class lad - another would not deal direct with the public.

kdubya - the Inquest jury have decided that the Police Officer was responsible for Mr Tomlinson's death. The decision not to prosecute will now be reviewed. Why should the Head of CPS be sacked? He presumably decided, as in all cases, that there was no likelihood of a successful prosecution. Armed with these new facts, he will probably reconsider. Is that not how it should be done? The title of your thread is a bit OTT - "bent cop". There are some bad Policemen / woman, but the vast majority are the envy of the world.

It was a crass attempt to get a cheap reaction. All a bit sad really.

Only wear them in winter - Le Chameau. I would not use any glove from choice - only because of the temperature.

If there are other rotten apples in the barrel, they should be exposed and dealt with in the same manner. Unless blunt shooter is implying that the Police force is full of dishonest officers, I totally fail to see why he has posted on what is basically a shooting forum. What purpose does this serve? Is Pigeonwatch the place which will make the biggest impact? I think not. Assuming blunt shooter convinced everyone on here that these two were dealt with harshly - that seems very, very unlikely - what will happen next? I wait - agog. :rolleyes:

A fair sized fire outside Bolton, on Belmont Moor. Helicopters picking up water from nearby reservoirs and dropping it on the fire. Far too little - 23 Fire Engines deployed. It's been going on for a few days. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/9002256.Fire_crews_stretched_by_Belmont_moor_blaze/

Dave - there are various options which would put the matter right. On a different slant - can I say I admire the way you have not tried to evade what has happened and faced up to putting it right. It sounds just like the person you are, but in this day and age, some would be seeking to absolve themselves from blame or trying to wheedle out of it. Well done. :good:

As usual - superb photos and excellent commentary. Thanks and well done.

MK38 - best value for money over and under - bar none.

blunt shooter - I do not need reminders to look at all the facts. I have seen sufficient. The Judge had all the facts and sentenced them. If he didn't have the full facts, why were you not there putting him in the bigger picture? Are you saying the Judge got it wrong? Write to him and tell him he doesn't know his job. I would suggest you learn to string together a cogent case, rather than the rambling diatribe which appears on here. Good luck. :rolleyes: As for them being compelled to plead guilty - absolute garbage. It seems they entered a guilty plea to a "lesser" charge to avoid getting convicted of a more serious one. I repeat - why are you posting this on a shooting forum? Were you expecting an outcry on their behalf? Why not post on a fishing or motorcycle forum? This isn't about guns, it's about theft.

Problem for fortune82 is that he can't put it all back in the box. Some people tell porkies when it suits their purpose, but still expect to be regarded as honest. :no: Sorry - it doesn't work like that. Trust has gone - end of story.

I find it hard to imagine a divorce where the assets consisted only of £24k debt. Is that the total sum of their "assets"? fortune82 - the boy who cried "Wolf". You and your "friends" lead exciting lives, where quite a lot happens. Sorry - I'm 1001% sure this thread is genuine. :lol:

fortune82 - you may have owned up, but what in the world possessed you to be so irresponsible? It isn't something I would be proud of. Certain breeds get bad press because some idiots tend to generalise about the breed rather than looking at the owners. Your thread continued that stupidity.

Speak to the Police. Blackmail is serious.

No chance of any sweeping statements being posted on here. I think "drivel" sums that up nicely. :lol: :lol: :lol:

On Gunwatch - not on here.

blunt shooter - you can dress this up however you chose, but they broke the law. They have been found guilty. Whether it went on before their employment, was committed by others, etc. is totally irrelevant. They knew what they were doing was wrong or they are stupid and deserve their fate. If they don't know the difference between right and wrong, they are fortunate in having you diving in to defend the indefensible. Why are you posting? What are your genuine motives? You say you are here to highlight a national problem. I trust you have notified all the Forces in the country about this practice. How can you personally know that each and every Force has bent employees in this particular area of work? What have you done about it, other than posting on here. Why not tip off the press? Why put this information on a shooting forum? Something smells rotten in the State of Denmark, methinks. :lol:

Have you registered?

fortune82 - I have sympathy with what you say, but the link to the newspaper article was just stupid. I hear what you say about the damage that one particular Rottweiller did, but it wasn't the same dog. Damage can be done by dogs large and small. It added nothing to your cause.

I agree with the other poster who said you should change your route. If you can't see why you should, then you are accepting that a problem could well happen. I own two large Akitas and avoid areas where one of them has been attacked. I think it has been attacked by smaller dogs about 7 or 8 times. All but once in the area I live. I am in no danger, my dogs are in no danger. I just prefer to avoid the hassle.

It would be nice to know the full facts. Someone on here said recently that "traveller bashing" was tolerated on this forum. I didn't subscribe to what he said, but I see his point. On the face of it, the female farmer is a victim. The more debatable point is which party is guilty of the "crimes". The trespassers? - yes, in my book. Her relation? - that is where it gets a bit muddy.

Get a friction Teague choke key. It really isn't worth taking a chance.

Arrived today. Absolute bargain and thoroughly decent bloke to deal with. Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with a pump action assuming you are the one in a thousand people who can shoot clays with one. Those odds are generous. Makes depend on your budget, as do the models. You can get a cheap over and under for £250 and shoot well. You can also spend £10k and shoot no better. Visit a clay club, ask questions, take advice. Learn about gun safety - also the responsibility that goes with owning a shotgun- which is far more important that shooting well. That can come later.
