    Jakewire

    Are people aware that Jakewire has passed away? Suddenly, at home, a couple of days ago.
    I liked Owen. I wish we did more together.

    One of life's true good buggers, he rang only last week to see how we faired with the flooding.
    Rest easy Owen

    Sleep deep old bean,leave a few easy ones running around up there in happy hunting grounds for when the rest of us eventually turn up.
    condolences to his family.

    How very sad. RIP. Damn life is a fragile thing.
    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
