Rules and Regs are shackling everyone these days....especially the "good" people...the "bad" people don't give a [censored] about them...never have...and they get produced to stop these people by anxious politicians whose only concern is to stay on the gravy train by "appearing" to be doing something.

So the "good" people either end up with less out of life or run the risk of being the only people the SAS Wannabees can catch! Been there...it's called Great Britian....or "Guns Forbidden Land" as those who try to enjoy shooting as a hobby call it.

Rural Police can have very little to do.....so Road Traffic laws are their bread and butter to justify their existance....where I shoot Deer in Scotland you have an 80% liklihood of being stopped for drink driving if out late....
a lot of the locals have lost their license....you don't need to be drunk...they even did some of them the next morning...talk about a "hated" profession with the locals...I always get a room above the Pub!! But Mules are parked in every field for miles round the Pub....if you drive home cross country your not on the "Highway". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
