    So this morning I phoned the man who's actions are the subject of this thread. At first despite my being very diplomatic he was defensive " I've had firearms for 55 years I have served in the Army etc.", however because my recollection of the details was exact he could not argue the facts and conceded that errors had been made. I pointed out that having a military background he would know that first off, he should have while pointing the muzzle safely upwards, handed the rifle to the shop staff and asked for it to be checked that it was empty (clear) and safe. I also pointed out that had the Police stopped him while he was walking to the shop and asked to check the rifle, the fact that the bolt was in it would not have been what they were hoping to find. The conversation ended on a very friendly note, we both agreeing that we all make mistakes and need to 'look out' for each other.
