Alex and Kenneth - handbags at 10 paces. As the majority of us "lerkers" who
sit and read this barrage of BS will all realise that it's the diversity of
the human race that makes this world so interesting and therefore it's the
diversity that makes our sport equally as interesting but it doesn't give
anyone the right to denigrate it.
I like guns, rifles, knives, camo clothing ad infinitum. There's not enough
time in the world for me to enjoy all the things I want to achieve before I
die. What I have no time for is the bickering of grown men over who's got
the biggest, fastest, most powerful whatever. Just give me the facts, let me
make my own judgement, then move on...
As to the AD/Pistol meeting comments. I have been to every single one since
1985 (twice in some years) I don't remember the armoured vehicle but I used
to walk between the competitions with my 686 in my holster. I have seen
others with loaded magazines/holstered 1911/concealed holsters openly
displayed, ankle holstered firearms. I saw a couple of guys firing Uzi's on
the Man V Man (I thing I took a video it)
The funniest thing I saw was one chap who had a Buntline in a standard
holster and the barrel went past his knee. He was wearing shorts, boots and
a white tee shirt. Every one who saw him laughed and must have thought "what
a Pratt". In 1994 I was asked by one of the range workers to cover up my
revolver, but I pointed out to him that if he looked behind him he could see
there was a group of people gathering together all showing each other what
they had bought, so what was the point? The point is "IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW
YOU'RE DRESSED". If it's cold at Bisley, I wear a camo jacket. I've been
shooting there for 20 years up to 18 times a year, they still take my money.
So please boys, don't get out of your prams, lets concentrate on the job in
hand.
1. March on the 18th
2. Raise the profile of our sport
3. Demand ONE ORGANISATION
4. If all else fails...emigrate and email your MP to tell him why.
It doesn't matter what clothes you wear as long as you're a good person
inside.
Keep the faith.
