Anyone know anything about guns at home & the law?

Ah, I think I get the picture!


You mentioned your neighbour has a son, well in your position, I'd lean heavily on the parental responsibility angle -- something like "Wouldn't *he* want to make sure his kids were as safe as possible?"

Whichever way you tackle him, I hope you get a satisfactory response.

But, as I say, I'm not really looking for advice on that front. I'm more than happy to lose that rapport for the safety of my family if necessary. I was more wanting to be aware of the law if/when the need to mention it comes (as I say, he's a bit military inclined - be that for whatever reason). It may not do, but forewarned is forearmed, if you'll pardon the pun.

Strangely, that was the motto of the Royal Observer Corps (think of WW2 plane spotters turned nuclear fallout monitors -- gulp!) of which I was a member some 20 years ago!
