    I had one climb through the bath room window and fall into the bath in the middle of the night. Noise of the scratching woke me up. BIG water rat , I grabbed the cat and chucked in in the bath, but no way was he having it on, was out he door and gone. So I got a big plastic bag and a stick, held the bag open one end of the bath and poked the rat with the stick, he ran into the bag. Now he's the trick, start swinging the bag round and round, centrifugal force is a handi weapon, and go find a conc path, wack wack wack until plenty of blood! Then bin it

    That is resourceful Maca49
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    My cousin when he was about 11yrs old saw a ferret run into the washouse.
    He grabbed his dads 410 and a couple of rounds and snuck up on it blasting it through the doorway while it was up against the opposite wall.
    He got the Ferret all right but said opposite wall got peppered with shot and behind said wall was the bathroom.
    The old cast iron bath also got peppered and big hunks of enamel were missing from the inside of the bath as a result.

    It was fair to say Words where said and belt buckles were loosened and Micheal wasn't allowed out to play after school for some years after this. He also got really good at doing chores around the house too for some reason.

    The lesson learned here is
    "Never leave a Firearm and ammunition where a child or any unauthorised person can get to it" and
    "Always check your firing zone before pulling the trigger".

    Cheers
    Pete
