Lock him up.... why should anyone be so stupid? If you don' know what an air rifle is capable of, don't own one.

I used to shoot in my back garden, with a proper backstop made of concrete slabs and sand bunker. Only ever did it when I was on my own in the garden with the back door and side gate locked and all my neighbours were okay about it.

But, after reading these sorts of stories over the years I have stopped, I believe that I shot as safe as possible, but god forbid that something did happen. Also I keep a low profile about my shooting as I don't want to be labelled as a gunho moron.

Now I just shoot at my permission and the local club.

best to be safe than sorry .

It just amazes me that people can be so stupid

It's the same with any weapon, they are reasonably safe until some cretin gets hold of them

So many things wrong with this. The worse being he pointed a weapon knowing it was loaded at his own child and pulled the trigger. The child is very lucky to still have his life.
Truly gutted why must we have so many idiots in this world

Gents,

May I direct you to the thread of the same subject that's running in Members Only?

In the interests of me not having two threads to keep an eye on, I'd like to close this one down.

Thanks.
