    I had myself, as I used to go around schools, to demonstrate gun safety, several lethal weapons, these included an over and under 12 gauge, a side by side, same gauge, a Ruger Section 1 Firearm, and a WW2 303, all of which were in fine working order. They were kept in a very heavy steel cabinet, the door of which had 2 deadlocks fitted, the ammo was also in the cabinet, which had 3 more compartments inside, the doors of which also had deadlocks on them.
    The keys to the cabinet were all kept in a safe with a combination lock, the combination of which non of my family knew.Both gun safe and key safe were bolted into the concrete floor in a room of the house. Also, all windows and doors were alarmed, and night time P.I.Rs were fitted.All this, when I was a Police Officer.

    Not a slight on you, but the local range I use has a separate area for cops to do shooting as the owner doesn’t want any of his civvie customers getting shot by cops. Look at what happened in NY a while back, guy shot his boss, cops show up, shot him dead & manage to shoot another 10 people…

    I would like to hear from a Forum member from the U.S.A. to explain just what obtaining any lethal weapons involves.

    Passing your driving test is usually sufficient.

    It’s a very valid point. I don’t feel the need to keep an automatic weapon in my home.

    Automatic weapons were outlawed in the US in 1934

    I think some American people have just got the President ” Pissed Off ”

    I belive that certain individuals are about to get their toys taken off them .

    Hopefully before they have a hissy fit & start quoting ” The consitution ” & throw their guns out of the Pram !!

    50% of the worlds guns are owned bt US Citizens …WTF is that all about ???

    There are 300million privatly owned firearms in the US…What the F. is that all about ??

    94,388 people have already been shot in the USA this year !!!!

    Time for Change !!!!

    In that case I suggest you emigrate here & do something about it. Incidently, Obama had the total lack of class & respect & turned the memorial service into a campaign speech….

    Exactly! Statistically, if you own a gun in the US, the person most likely to be shot with it is yourself or a member of your family.

    That’s actually a complete myth. The govt figures don’t even come close to suggesting that.

    Whenever something like this happens the Govt take actions against the people who didn’t do it. That’s like passing laws to restrict sober people from driving to lessen the amount of drunk driving….

    & the worse school attack wasn’t gunfire…

    There are a lot of Gazelle helicopters now stored awaiting buyers, with considerable spares. Probably easy to maintain and preserve (Falklands vets)

    I think that in fifty years or so there will be no airshows anyway.

    Given the age of Vietnam vets & the number of surplus Hueys out there, I could see where they have “Gathering Of The Hueys” instead of P51’s… There seems to be less than 10 on the display circuit so far…
    1 in Texas (based with LSFM) Think this is the Collins Foundation bird.
    1 in the UK

    People wonder why anything posted by Aussies ends up being a laughable hoax….It’s their national pastime.

    That’s a fairly stout looking work stand under the Catalina, Isambard Kingdom Brunel Aircraft works?

    A quick glance revealed an A-10 keeping station at around 100 kts and pointing past me to the right and guess what, his wingman was on the starboard wingtip.

    Back in the days of F4’s in the NV ANG they used to come up & play with the warbirds returning home from Reno after the races. Ensuing dogfights weren’t unknown.. 🙂
