Hardly a representation of the UK population.
Also, it’s multi choice, I personally ticked 4 boxes, that counts as 4 votes in the total, I believe with the same amount of‘evidence’ as you that maybe less than 20 % of UK population has fired a gun, ( I don’t include air guns, it’s not a...
I injured myself firing a 9 mm Browning.
Instead of adoptIng the recommended grip, I went for the much cooler looking wrist holding method.
Somehow managed to get my thumb in the way of the block coming back and badly bruised my thumb and wrist.
I never saw that happen in Starsky and Hutch.
Airgun as a kid.
To my shame, I actually shot and killed a blackbird at the age of about 10.
I never shot at another living creature.
In training when I joined the RN, SLR, Sten gun, and 9 mm Browning.
Later on, the SA80.

This will never change, because, now it is impossible.
Far too many people have guns, and, more importantly, people make a huge amount of money from...
I’m actually surprised to see @Dougie back on here this weekend.
He only normally posts when Palace win, and we lose.
While the second of his criteria will most probably become a fact, Palace only drew yesterday. Perhaps he missed the Forest equaliser and is under the impression that they...
Listened on the radio,(5live) while driving to see family,
The commentator said, just after the Palace goal that they were already practicing‘game management’ I.e. time wasting.
Palace scored on the 11th minute.
This new manager laddy seems like a clone of Hodgson.
You have to hand it to him, he’ll have them eating out the palm of his hand.
As a rule of thumb, and I’m not one to point the finger, but, he certainly knuckled down and got on with life after his self amputation.
