this is my thinking and it may very well be complete bollocks. if i am in a situation i want the bad guy to go down, but if possble not die. i just think it makes any follow up court appearances easier. but the harder he goes down the better, so a bigger hole in a non vital area would be more effective than a smaller one.

until you have to use it on a bushpig

will be paying for some professional instructions for her. She will not have the gun in the house unless she knows exactly how to use it

unfortunately i can only get 1 firearm so it needs to be a compromise between the 2. i am sure my wife will have no problem with the .40

is that an XR1000? I got to to ride one of those once when my bike went in for a service. By a country mile the most awesome bike i ever ridden.

i def will in time. Its a bit of a capital outlay now though.

Good to hear. thanks. Do you have any issues getting hold of ammo?

yoh i would love to. Those things are so awesome! but they scare the .... out of me.

i have no intention of hurting Stoffel or any of the other lovely creatures - unless they decide to tackle me or my dog.

why do you need durex for a trip to the bathroom?

i was waiting for someone to ask me that. I have a small farm which i visit on weekends. the gun will have 2 functions. 1. obviously self defence. i will only carry the gun at the farm. i have no intention of carrying it in town. a lot of research tells me the 40 is more accurate over longer distances and also makes a bigger hole. 2. i spend a lot of time walking in the bush and sometimes happen upon the odd bushpig, bushbuck, jackal or honey badger. Should one of these take a dislike to me being near them i would prefer something a bit bigger than a 9mm to stop them. its not always convenient to carry a rifle in the thick bush. 3. i like it more

i am going through an agency and they reckon it will take a few weeks to get all the paperwork and stuff together so I am starting with this

still waiting for the cert. should be any day now. going to the gun shop today to start the licence process - just to save some time. they have a CZ p07 40S&W with my name on it.

if i didnt crash i would have won edit: you got there before me

unfortunately if you print the photos and hang them for a week, they will not become biltong

Delete this post now! there is absolutely no room for this kind of common sense in this argument

thats mike glover

if everybody chose fish our oceans would be dead in no time. Commercial fishing takes from the wild and does not replace.

Patch is 100% correct when he says you will never turn everybody into a vegan. i can tell you now there is no evidence you can give me that will stop me braaing my lamb chops. So he came up with other less idealistic small wins which were shot down by the all or nothing sentiments of some posters. This why politicians can get nothing done because they are too busy protecting their own agendas to actually make any difference. This may be the first time i have everf agreed with Patch. Holy Cow! or should that be Holy cabbage?

truest thing said on this fred thus far

so her reverse psychology worked then?

we used to go to the local dump. build a bonfire and throw all the aerosol cans we could find into the fire. those things took off like rockets

The unfortunate reality of the situation is we as humans "own" the land. And we always want a return from the land. Yes this is unfair on the planet and its wrong, but it is what it is. With this in mind, the biggest argument for hunting / game farms is that it is much less harmful to the general environment than planting crops or running cattle / sheep / goats. just look at the karoo how angoras have destroyed the natural vegetaion. So if hunting was banned and all these game farmers had to then do something else with their land we would lose huge amounts of natural faun and flora.

well deserved. The boy can ride

we used to do it a lot in the past. it was called war
