You are proabably quite correct NZ is not as violent as some place but I think its catching up. We had a Firearms incident involving Polive about two years ago right out side a major City Station a guy was running amok with a firearm and three macho cops went out with Glock 17's and emptied the mags hitting diddly and then this rather diminutive female cop came out with the M4 pow one shot perp down lol!!Chasplaya wrote:Chas- every point you make is completely valid. ...... We don't cause problems because we are better trained and regulated!Well its very difficult to argue with people who have a constitutional right to carry firearms.

Blowing my trumpet here but I top scored for them. I was told they wanted to give me a Medal which our Givt wouldn't allow me to accept so they gave me a nice plaque which still hangs to this day in my office. My weapon of choice is the L1A1 SLR

When I used to hunt for food, I had a really sweet Winchester Lever Action 22. It was beautiful and I could knock the wings off a fly at 20 yards with it. I won many shooting contests back then. In the Army my DI never figured I could shoot and after messing up trying to shoot an M16-A1 his way, I told him to let me try it my way and shot a perfect 100. After that he had me on the shooting team.
Funny thing is, I never could use a handgun very well.
