BangBangNik Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 http://www.lancashire.police.uk/news/2015/november/fresh-appeal-after-farmhouse-robbery.aspx Scary stuff......always wonder who see's you coming and going with guns. I live on a main road with lots of passing traffic so can't help but be spotted. Makes you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee. Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) You could probably make a safe assumption that a farm is highly likely to contain some sort of firearm tho Its nice to live out in the sticks but it dont half make you more vulnerable tho.

Liamey Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 In an ideal world the thugs that done this would be judicially hanged. I'm sure once caught they will receive a telling off and maybe 1 year inside. Sure hope the farmer is ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 No doubt the way things work he will have his license revoked and if the scumbags get caught they will be given a holiday in the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveboy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 When I see the "what would you do if you won the Lotto threads" I always think about what could happen to you and your family if you got a big house or a farm and the scum think your worth a bob or two.

BangBangNik Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 No doubt the way things work he will have his license revoked and if the scumbags get caught they will be given a holiday in the sun. That's an interesting point that I wondered about. He may have had all the firearms locked up in cabinets approved by the police, with the keys hidden in a safe place that only he knew about, all keeping within the law. Then some one threatens you with a machete and a shotgun for you to acces your guns. Where does that leave you with regards to the law? Should he loose his licence? Obviously these were extreme circumstances but would be interested in the outcome for him. When I originally went onto the link, a box popped up asking for my name and address, when I clicked on the link the second time, it didn't. Odd ,Whats that about. from Auntie. Not sure, it should just link to the Lancashire police site. Never asked me for any details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If i had all the money in the world I wouldn't live in the sticks these days, you here off it far to much around Lancashire, Another scary thought to me is if it happend and I wasn't in and the other half got a kicking because she didn't know where the gun cabinet keys where.

rodp Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 If you won the lottery, or at least if I won, first thing would be ex squaddies as security. Finds them a job they'd enjoy and keep you safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonseed Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 This is very like a robbery at Longridge in Lancashire about a year back. In that one the certificate holder was still at work when they steamed in at teatime. Children were present as their mother was assaulted and keys were demanded. They got away with shotguns and rifles. As far as I know, they were never caught. ********. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossberg-operator Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Does the licence holder still got his ticket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Most stolen guns never turn up and never figure in crime. They are usually spirited aboad and sold there because they are as valuable as jewellery to the thieves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
