Juliet, enough of the outrage. There is no 'self rightiousness' merely pointing out that the law with regard to firearms is explicit and without flexibility. Under certain circumstances, I grant you, that law may seem to be counter productive.
Like iRaven I have been on Ops many times over the past 15 years and you won't find anything of that nature in my gaff. I did try to bring back a could of muskets from Iraq that had been left in the office by a previous incumbent but the bureaucracy simply couldn't be over come. I didn't then try to smuggle them back! Shame but there we go....
