Claybird,
Correct, our pistol team have to practice in France.
Only drug Barons allowed to use pistols in Britain.
Cannot imprison them due to Police not being paid enough overtime hours, crooked lawyers, stupid laws designed to protect criminals and then interference from European Court of Human Rights in Brussels??? Belgians can only make chocolates and Lager, yet we let them tell us what to do. That's why we still have to pay to keep Abdul Hamsar in prison and also support his twelve wives, numerous children and pay for houses to accommodate them all.
Here in Britain if a villain breaks into your house, rapes your wife and you shoot him dead , You got to prison for life for manslaughter, because you deliberately shot him, premeditated action, you actually meant to harm him.
A neighbour of mine shot a burglar as he tried to get away, hit him in the spine and paralysed him.
My neighbour went to prison for 12 years, his very successful car hire company went into recession, closed with the loss of 150 jobs. The Burglar sued and got 1million compensation for damages .
