Blimey - I've heard of some rough estates, but never ones where the disaffected youths carry chain saws...

Re: More Gun Thefts .
I've been in a pub (in Cromarty) where a guy, after being refused more drink, came back into the pub with a chainsaw, started it up and threatened to carve the place up. Don't ask me what happened next, cos I finished my pint & left, sharpish like!

Good luck getting a UK legal length firearm loaded inside a car and bringing it to bear on someone on the drivers side of the vehicle, even if you had it in the passenger seat footwell! Better to use the car itselfTRG-22 wrote:One, or a few, less now.
OOI, if he'd been able to load one, where would he stand, legally, with using it? At first glance it does seem like reasonable and proportionate force to use against someone armed with an active chainsaw in order to prevent a serious crime.

My wife will attest to the effect of that.....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: More Gun Thefts .
Well if this really is a problem I see no reason why FAC holders shouldn't be permitted to carry a handgun to defend themselves while transporting their firearms.
A humane dispatch pistol would probably do it.
