It's a confusing subject. I have, what I think is, a healthy interest in guns. I had always planned to take up shooting via gun clubs when I left the Army, but the Gov put paid to this. There has been much hype and stigma attached to users of hand guns/rifles, but the vast majority are/where law abiding people. I don't even want to indulge in buying deactivated or replica weapons, as again I don't want to create a reputation with the neighbours as the local gun nutter/weirdo. I even get slagged off in work by workmates who catch me looking at websites about guns. One actually believes that one day I'm gonna come into work with a bad temper and shoot everyone !! Some people have an interest in stamp collecting, some have an interest in collecting train numbers (wannkers). I like holding, shooting, stripping firearms.
