Hahaha, brings back memories of sunny days on my best mates farm ☺ -
Bomb disposal unit for this?
12gauge82 replied to mossberg-operator's topic in General Shooting Matters
It wasn't the officers on the ground who made the mistake, for all they knew the rucksack they thought he had was planted and he could have blown it up by remote detonation, these were probably thoughts flying through their mind as they bravely ran on to that train wondering if they would be blown up as they did so, that's not to take away from the terrible tragedy of an innocent man losing his life. on your other point on how many armed officers killed in action you might want to do some research on northern Ireland, and I'd say it's a credit to the armed police's tactics, training and skill that so few have been killed.Edited to say... instead of looking at how many armed officers are killed compared to unarmed, why not look at how many armed jobs they deal with and how few times it ends up with anyone getting shot at all, that I think draws a very much more accurate picture of the restraint they show on a daily basis. You only hear of the very few occasions when someone gets shot. -

Yes unarmed police are just as brave also, and generally armed police have served unarmed before becoming armed or also serve unarmed, as for the train shooting it was not the officers who took the shot to blame they were told and had an honest held belief that the guy was going to blow the train up yet they ran on to the train anyway, despite the threat they thought they faced as awful as it was, what were they to do, if the Intel they were given was right stand by and watch hundreds of unarmed civilians killed, its easy to sit back and be an arm chair judge with years of hindsight when officers are given a split second to make life and death decisions. -

Another bash at the police, I wonder if you would be prepared to head towards a terrorist attack putting yourself in harm's way like the brave officers in armed response would. -

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-171856/250m-siphoned-short-measure-scams.html I'm sure there's plenty more, I didn't even read the article if I'm honest, but looks like it does go on as I said

http://m.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/news/10441019.Fuel_pumps_found_to_be_delivering_short_measures_across_Wiltshire/?ref=rc Here's another seven cases, I'm not saying it's regular just more often than you appear to think. It's probably quite small amounts when it happens and is probably very rarely reported to the media, I have however herd of several cases so it obviously does happen

I can't believe anyone is even thinking of voting remain, I don't care what carrots the EU dangles, so long as the price of that is giving up a democracy I.e electable delegates who can be voted out by the UK population they can go to hell, my ancestors didn't die in the second world war for me to willingly hand control of the UK to foreign unelected politicians in the EU.

Why so pedantic? Only trying to be helpful with a reply, ive herd of several cases hence why I said it's probably more common than you think, it probably doesn't make national news very often but I've got better thinks to do than have a argument over how often petrol stations short change customers, so have a nice evening

Well it was in my local paper and they were fined so unless the paper was lying I'd say that is evidenceEdited to add link http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_east/7974289.stm

I've always preferred the 97 as a functional tool and am personally more accurate with it, think the TX is better finished and a bit prettier in my opinion but that's just me

Open to any sensible offers on this as it's not getting used -
I feel the same, couldn't have worded it better myself
-
It's more common than you might think, a tesco got fined a fortune not far from me for short changing its customers, although I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, it could of been happening for quite some time before it was found.

The whole EU system is rotten, I intuitively knew it but this just proves it. Goldman Sachs backing the remain side was enough for me, what's good for them is going to be bad for everyone else.

Ah gotcha
-
Why is concern's regarding mass immigration caused by EU membership a illegitimate reason to vote brexit? I personally feel it's a huge reason to vote out

This is correct, you should have a ticket saying the watch is yours or maybe a bank record showing payment to the company may do it
