The horriffic stories you Brits relate are very worrisome, especially to we who live in the PRK who can now clearly see the handwriting on the wall. As my wife is an Edgeware girl, we do occasionally visit the UK. I remember one day at her cousin's home four policemen appeared and demanded his shotgun, as his permit had expired the previous day! However, the worst experience was when we were leaving England and our carry on baggage was being inspected. I was using one of my shooting bags for travel, and they discovered an empty Colt .45 magazine I had overlooked. You would have thought they found a bomb! I was charged with having part of a "destructive device" and what I went through was something I would like to forget.
