I am awfully sorry if that is not the case now.

I had 356 Porsches for years, and used to have great fun with them, but I am indeed envious of Ferraris.
What great cars!
Surely, that helps make up for the Lugers a bit?
Hmm.

If you don't mind shooting whilst being supervised by some spotty-faced yoof, and having to hand your handgun in after you have picked up and handed over all the empties, you CAN shoot and pretend that you own a handgun in England, Scotland and Wales.

But having commanded troops in a combat zone my pride just won't let me do it.

I'm sure you can understand that?

Maybe not.

I only ever had one Porsche, a 1968-series Carrera, and can only imagine what having 356 of them must be like. Simply having the space for them all must have posed a challenge, even for you Americans with your large garages.

PS - if you e-mail me I can show you what kind of handgun I CAN own here in mainland UK. It might just surprise you.
