From what I have read the rifles are very poorly regulated.
That kind of bursts my bubble but, saves my $.

I have a 20ga Lightning model, 26" IC and M, 1964. Ive taken grouse, woodcock and a few wood ducks with Bismuth ammo. Not to mention countless liberated quail and several wild birds one magical day years ago. It stays in the safe in the off season, emerging in August for a few rounds of clays. It belonged to the man that taught me about things like grouse habitat, ethics and respect for game, and authors like Aldo Leopold, Farley Mowatt and Sigurd Olson. It is in my care now and priceless.

Farley lived down the street from me until he died a few years ago. I used to bump into him regularly walking our dogs. And years ago we used to attend the same parties where he would delight in offending sensibilities by doing things like pissing on the rose bushes in the middle of the party.

Thats also priceless! Something Hemingway would do!

And his pal F. Scott Fitzgerald--both raging alcoholics, and when "in their cups" their behavior was erratic, to say the least. RWTF

I had a friend from SC who was very successful in real estate and development of it. He was cut from the same cloth, James. He, Billy, was attending a supper party at some friends' home one evening and the menfolk were standing outside on the porch having beverages. The lady of the house had a cat who kept rubbing against my friend's leg. He shooed the cat away several times, but to no avail. Next time the cat attempted a "rub" he reached down and grabbed it, wrung it's neck, and duly tossed it into the shrubbery.
A man after my own heart.

Stan, that's a hilarious story, much as I like cats.
I sure didn't mean to imply I was perturbed by Farley's behavior. I loved seeing these "elites" aghast and so did Farley.
Scandalous!!! Hahahahaha!

SRH Do that to my wife’s cat and the next piece of real estate Billy would be developing would be 2 1/2’ x 8’ x 6’ in the local cemetery. That’s psycho shyte. Ya’ll go to some weird arse dinner parties. ____________________________ Me, Spino, and Frankie the cat are watching hockey.

At the very least, it would be costing you thousands of dollars, and that's not counting medical bills and lawyer's fees. Wanton destruction of someone personal property ON their property -not gonna fly anywhere I've ever lived.

I wouldn't have done it either, I do respect other's personal property.
But, I hold cats in the same general level of esteem.
