HDAV Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Seems Dyfed-Powys is the highest per capita (London City stats seem out of the context) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyhunter Posted October 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 interestingly enough i have a book from 1987 ( 0r 1988) published with the help of BASC called a Legitimate persuit, the case for the sporting gun, it represents argumenets for private gun ownership and the uses for privatley owned shotguns and firearms, its contesting rules that were going to be rushed in by the Government after the Hungerford attrocity, it makes fasinating reading, interestingly enough the majority of the proposals were passed, including photos on sgc's and the safe storage of shotguns, fortunatley they didnt ban outright semi auto and pump action shotguns but it was close :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 JEEZ. After reading those stats for average weapon/ type ownership no wonder a visiting feo stated that I had got too many guns !! And at the last renewal The new feo said that I was a gun nut !! I must stand out on their map like a red-hot coal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
