    You know very time the subject of a shooting comes up and forum members wish for a harsher sentence for a loss of a life.

    I wonder why 'Cave Creek' is never mentioned. 14 young lives were lost and others badly injured in this disaster. Just to refresh everybody's memories here. DOC ignored the need for a resource consent and built a platform out over a Gorge virtually relying upon screw nails to hold the structure together. It failed of course and collapsed down onto the canyon floor 40 metres below killing and maiming all that were on it at the time.

    No one was ever charged with any offence at all on this matter nor was anyone penalised in any way. You see nobody at all was to blame for this, don't ask me why not, a school kid building it after school would have made a better job of it.

    Actually looking at Dummer's reputation and behaviour it's possible that he's had a head injury at some point in which case he is not a fit and proper person

    Rubbish, and that is as polite as I'm going to get.

    Whoa bugger me this thread is charged with emotion. See what happens when you don't hang guilty pricks!
    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

    Not for all the tea in China Maca. I would have thought Happy would be bringing his little 30 cal cuddle buddy.

    The whole point of this discussion, taking away the awful result of this persons action, is the fact that 'everybody' on this forum apart from Angus (to my knowledge) is in possesion of a FAL

    Whether we hunt, punch paper, cull as a proffesion, eradicate pests, .........whatever.......when WE become legal firearm licence holders, we take on a huge moral obligation and a HUGE responsibility to society as a whole, to be SAFE in our said activity to peers and strangers alike...

    It is not acceptable to me (IMHO) to say, 'sorry i screwed up, made a mistake' ect.....and then EXPECT to be able to carry on as if nothing happened......he has taken an innocent life.....I REPEAT, AN INNOCENT LIFE, not a near miss or a flesh wound......how?.....because he did not VERIFY his intended target......he did not have the patience to wait a couple of seconds to 100% make sure.......im a newbie, only took up the challenge of hunting last year.....i made my own personal vow to (hopefully, im only human after all) not pull the trigger until i have
    1) 100% verified i have recognised the target species and the backdrop is safe
    2) double checked above when i have looked through my scope
    i have had buck fever, and felt the adrenalin rush, but the overiding consequence (thank fuck) of not screwing up and causing tragedy for both sets of family & friends has held me back......im not trying to be Mr billy big bollocks who will never make a mistake as (hopefully) my ego is not that big......but this guy, to go back to the original reason im writing this, has NO 'right' to owning a FAL ever again.....whatever the legal right or wrongs

    Cheers Syd, if i may be so bold and ask what is your personal view on this, and not your legal view?
