I am with Forky. Nanny state.
One of my friends….my best friend from school, has been shooting since we were in primary school, scouts and cadets. I ceased shooting but he went on to pistols etc in his late teens. I talk to him about the various trips I have had to the USA over the years. He has never been. He often says he would love to experience the free world one day.
I should shout him a ticket!
