It can be a tough ride - things that were done 10+ years ago in some cases comes back to bite...
If you were considering obtaining a fire arm for hunting, why not buy a decent compound bow to scratch the itch whilst you try and sought the firearms side? It’s a legitimately satisfying way of obtaining meat for the freezer and it’s bloody challenging....? Just a suggestion.


Good suggestion but I’m more interested in going to the range and spending half a day there. Don’t get me wrong - I have hunted and enjoyed it but it’s not my priority.

Ita another indication of our society going to crap really. Once upon a time, lets say the 80's where there were only half the police per population people generally policed themselves more. Teachers whipped kids, your dad kicked the butt of the kid knocking bins over , and if some guy played up on a train or accosted women in the street he got a punch on the nose. It was like having 6 million amateur police on duty 24/7.

And it worked. Life was not a bllodbath of violence then either, it was actually less violent. Because the threat of violence and social displeasure and being marked as a trouble maker kept a lot of bullcrap from ever happening. Much like the threat of jail works as a deterrant even if you haven't been there yourself, the threat of moderate corporal summary punishment worked wonders in sorting out 90% of lifes smart asses and assholes before they ever become a problem. In the worlplace, at school, on the trai , in nightclubs, on the beach.

Then the powers that be decided on the basis of ther small percentage of people who went to far (the minority rules leftist manifesto) or actively broke the law, ALL of us should have powers of social correction removed, and all such powers should be replaced by just a few thousand police.

Police who can't be everywhere at once, and even apart from crime can't sort out smart asses at work, won't be there to stop the junky on the train spitting, have no effect on the juveniles making a mockery of the entire system with street crime.

But this is what the powers that be want. A people stripped of individual judgement, sitting around calling on the authorities to make things safe.

What really annoys me to is the increasing fashion of disenfranchisement after punishemtn. Its like a reversion to medievakl style branding for committing of crimes. The fact that crimes of passion or lack of judgement can and will follow you as a permanent record for the rest of your life. We got rid of branding people with hot irons a long time ago for the very reason one of the precepts of judicial punishment is rehabilitation, not to create a second class citizen.

At least we are not quite as bad as America yet where their ' ex-felons' have to declare their previous convictions for any job and may not be able to vote again.

What the hell happened to our society?

Well Mickb I see the problem as society is feeding off it self years ago we listened to the wireless and read comic books about Buck Rogers flying a rocket to the moon and landing everybody said it would never happen '' It did'' we are now saying we are going to loose our rights and ''we are'' and this will keep happening until society gets its faith back in itself we use a code now called ''Majority rules'' when we have a vote I don't know who ever decided that the majority is always right just look at the Government of today people have had enough of how they operate and disregard peoples lives for power then you get the Do Gooders who think their kids can do no evil at school so they worked to remove all discipline handling from teachers we now have teachers leaving schools and their lively hood from being bashed by pupils the abuse from pupils and parents these kids are growing up thinking they are always right and the world owes them something if it doesn't go their way then violence or drugs or both combined is the outlet society as a whole has to regain its self worth and moral grounds before things will start changing ie. vote for the people who will make good change for the country and us not for what we or they can shove into our or their pockets we are not learning from the past mistakes we are just finding new ways around them and letting our morals slip away and mickb you are right about the old ways it was good then because there was still respect for others because we understood how hard it was for others to get something past wars ,comradeship everybody saw each other face to face most times but today this has gone almost completely we talk to each other by phone ,computer, email, and so on rarely face to face you don't even have to go to a doctor anymore you can pull them up on computer for a general visit it affects small country town heavily they loose their cricket teams ,football teams , shooting clubs, almost everything is affected by no face value bugga me you can even date on line now, these are some of the things causing the decline of society there are umpteen more but these will do for a start I can't see any change in the near future if the pollies keep chasing votes for power and these problems aren't addressed and people keep voting for the wrong parties and parties that have been there long enough to make a difference but failed badly and they have been in long enough and enough times for us to realise they are of no use to us yet we keep voting them in

Everything (and I do mean everything) depends on what you you have said when interviewed by the Police!
Yes you will need a solicitor, one that specialises in or has had proven success in criminal matters.
