    I am going to take a wild guess here,I don't think the gentleman being discussed is a Ginger from Southland with a striking absence of Tattoos and a perchant for Caledonian history.

    Honestly 15 convictions for AR,how many did he actually blagg without getting caught?

    As a self professed member of the hang ‘em at dawn brigade, I find it surprising that in this particular instance I am in total agreement with you. Ordinarily I would be using the old adage that Leopards do not change their spots but this fellah seams to be a proven exception and because of that (and his demonstrably positive contribution to the good of society) I don’t see an issue with him being given a Firearms License. In considering my (to myself) unusual view on this matter I think it is the considerable change that has swayed me.

    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

    You, sir, have my deep respect. Not enough of us are prepared to move from entrenched positions even in the face of a clear reason to do so.
