    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

    This. The green shop is the only place local that I can get powder for reloading, so I'm buggered until a dealer mate does a powder run from Steve's Wholesale. Still rather go without than spend a cent there.

    I still buy Swazi socks as I have very small feet and so far have found none elsewhere that fit me properly and last, they are the only socks I wear for both work and the back country. I don't buy anything else as I can't afford to.

    They seem to work well for what I need.

    Unless you have a better kiwi made and owned company to buy from?
    Kiwi made? Is that a joke?

    While we're at it, we may as well quit drinking beer; stop purchasing mass manufactured clothing; stop eating chocolate; stop purchasing ammunition and firearms (do you think Beretta, Colt, and other long-standing arms companies have ever given a toss about the wellbeing of human beings?)

    Davey's opinions and personal beliefs have no bearing on the utility (or lackthereof) of his products. And isn't that the whole point of purchasing something? Because you like the product, or believe it'll add value to your life?
    No but like many other companies, if there are several options people chose on things like service, reputation and yes even actions and opinions of the company employees, shareholders and owners.

    My household does this all the time to inform our purchasing decisions. Environmental standards, company ethics, operation policy, etc etc. Its not always possible, but given there is no shortage of hunting and outdoor clothing brands available it's easy enough to chose to shop elsewhere.

    That and tbh I've never been that amazed by Swazi gear. It's well made but not particularly well designed, doesn't use top end materials and is for the most part, very heavy. Combine that with the fact it is eye wateringly expensive, and yeah I'll spend my bucks elsewhere

    I am quite certain he doesn’t. I share his frustration though as it is fucking annoying having a fellow firearms enthusiast refer to the enforced confiscation of legally held property as having toys taken. That said I also see that that particular comment was made in response to an insult and I am fairly certain that if anyone called me a fudd to my face I would punch the cunt and then kick him in the nuts and likely not stop there.
