You really have an active imagination Cant wait to tell this story to my three shooting buddies when they pick me up from my front door next time we go shooting at four in the morning if my shooting buddy told me a story of a forum he would be going back to bed. good job there's 3 others to fend your smack head friends away. im glad i work hard to live in a nice area, with no fear of a dirty smack rat climbing thru the window, i even leave the keys in the car and van ignition. and my kids play safe in the garden Just keep eye out for the four smack heads pal and ya should be fine lol. Thought me self it would be easier for em to rob a granny for a quick 20 quid to be honest.

Scully Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 In such a small market town as the one in which I live,there are very few secrets I'm afraid,but the fact I'm a shooter isn't something I feel the need to be secretive about. This is shooting country,and the place is riddled with shooters,and one of the local hotels main revenue in season comes from visiting game shooters.You can't move for Vogues/Defenders etc of a morning when grouse/pheasant are in season! All my neighbours know I shoot,as they have seen me carrying guns,dead pheasants,rabbits etc into my back garden many times,and if there's a lost ferret found,they always ring me to see if I know of anyone who has lost one.I swap shot game with neighbours for homemade jams,chutneys etc,and my old Disco' has BASC and NGO stickers on it,which is probably why it has been keyed! I can't think of one street in town which doesn't have at least one shooter living in it. I feel very fortunate to live in such a place where shooters,while not being a majority,are certainly not a minority,but neighbouring towns are very similar.

buckaroo23 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Most mates know I have guns, all my family do and most people I work with, but some of these people don't know where I live, one relation is band from my house and will never be let in. And if some try's it on between the house and the car oh well and good luck, probably got more chances being jumped in the field than my house. You can be as careful and secretive as you like if they want it they will try and get it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. I can walk between permissions here with an (open & unloaded) 12 bore slung over my shoulder and no one bats an eyelid. I also regularly pop into into my local with my gun (in the slip, I hasten to add) on my way back from foxing. Not many communities where you could do that!

ordnance Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) People knowing you have guns can be fatal. A man was shot through the heart as he tried to defend his family from two men who had forced their way into his home to steal guns, a court has heard. Financial advisor Geoff Kerr was shot dead in Templepatrick on 27 April 2009. Darren Kernohan, 35, from Moss Drive in Antrim and Martin Fleming, from Churchill Road in Larne, both deny murdering the 60-year-old. On Monday, three other co-accused pleaded guilty to associated offences connected to the murder. Tuesday's hearing at Belfast Crown Court was told by the prosecution that on entering Mr Kerr's home, the two accused pushed Sally Kerr against a wall with a gun to her head and immediately threatened her husband Geoff with the same weapon. Prosecuting QC Ciaran Murphy said during the ensuing struggle with Mr Kerr, Kernohan fired two bullets at him, one passing through his chest and heart and out through his back. He added that as he left the scene of the house, knowing that Mr Kerr lay injured "he turned to Mrs Kerr and pointed his gun directly at her". He said that according to the Crown case, Mr Fleming was equally guilty of murder as a secondary party to the joint enterprise to rob Mr Kerr's numerous legally held firearms because "he would clearly have realised that there was every possibility that the gun in the possession of Kernohan would be used that night".

bedwards1966 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I certainly don't hide it, after all I'm going about doing something that is perfectly legal - in fact I try to tell as many people as I can that I shoot (while being sensible, there are some folk I wouldn't tell!) as it is good to show people how shooters aren't drug gangs or other such criminal low-life, the best way for our sport is to educate others, not hide. With all that said, my security arrangements are quite good, you'd be mad to try and break into my house as there are far too many people watching, and if anyone wants to try to jump me while going from the house to the car then so be it, I won't envy the person who has to wipe them up off the pavement after the dog's had a word with them.

ordnance Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) so is getting in a car/bus/train/plane and sleeping with another man wife True but i thought we where talking about firearms. If you want to talk about sleeping with other men's wife's ok. It can also get you shot. Normally getting in a car train or plane won't lead to you getting shot. PS unless your name is Jean Charles de Menezes. Dissident republicans were today being blamed for shooting a man during one of two armed raids on legally-held weapons in west Belfast. Two men are being questioned in police custody after the victim, aged in his 30s, was shot in the leg after refusing to hand over guns when a gang burst into his home yesterday. The victim’s ordeal began at around 6.30pm when three armed men — two wearing balaclavas and one with a scarf around his face — entered the house in Larkspur Rise, close to the Suffolk Road, and demanded he hand over a number of legally-held firearms. When the man refused, he was shot in the leg by one of the intruders before the gang grabbed the weapons and ammunition and fled the scene. The man was rushed to hospital and his injuries are understood to be serious but not life-threatening. Detectives are investigating a link between a similar incident in west Belfast within an hour of the shooting. Shortly after 7.15pm, three men dressed in dark clothing called at a house in the Ballymurphy Road area. They forced the householder to hand over a number of legally-held weapons and ammunition. While no-one was injured during the second robbery, one victim was treated for shock. According to sources in the area, dissident republicans are being blamed for the armed thefts. The PSNI would not comment on this today. A police spokesman said detectives believe the two thefts are linked. This newspaper was told that dissidents were acting on information they received that legally-held weapons and ammunition were being stored in at least one of the premises. Last night, police arrested two men, one aged 34 and the other 30, in relation to the robberies. The pair were detained by officers after they noticed a vehicle acting suspiciously near a leisure centre on the Whiterock Road, not far from the scene of the second robbery. In other words the less people know you have firearms the better i don't think most people would argue with that.

It was a long and painful road for her to travel buckaroo, i wouldn't wish it on anyone. she'd suffered by his hand for nearly 10 yrs before she plucked up the courage and left him.
