Good response. Well thought out and erudite. But nothing to do with air rifles.....now are you going to keep changing the goalposts all the time?

mwhaaa you nutta!

No, thats nothing to do with air rifles either!

I would not let my sons own an air rifle and i would not want one in my home. However i have let them use them supervised and have myself for shooting at targets and clay pigeon shooting which is great fun. I also love archery and think using a bow and arrow is great, in the right environment.

I understand many people have air riffles at home, and that is their choice, unfortunately not all are as responsible as perhaps those on here are and there are 'accidents' involving them, the most recent near here was when a girl was shot in the street by accident by a lad shooting at tin cans.

My cousins parents are farmers, they have guns and that is fine, i live in a town and do not see the need for one in my house. There are local sports centres, clay pigeon shoots and campsites where my kids can use air riffles and bows and arrows safely and under supervision.

Hi Webster,

Well said and I know that Taff will echo my comments too.

There is no place today for guns of any sort in the home, unless, as I said earlier, unless there is a professional purpose for owning one.

That is my choice, nothing illogical, or irrational about this, just being sensible.

Yep, your choice :-)

Mine is different - whilst there is still the freedom to choose, I do so and own, under the proper license, a goodly selection.

And I use them for the purpose for which they were designed - to stock my freeer. Which they do admirably, thank you very much!

good on you eldrick, i do not have the knowledge or the skills to ensure safe and proper use, plus being a veggie i dont need one to stock my freezer

Well Peter,
Shooting is a sport, a hobby for many, and a business for others.
I am not interested much in football, golf, running,or other strenuous outlets.
how would it be if other nonsports people were to advocate prevention or ownership/possession at home, of say football gear? golf clubs?and OH! those spikey running shoes they wear!!
or even motor racing, now THATS a dangerous sport, in my opinion, but to each his own.........
