Stanton Hills, maybe it's just British farmers but that is from long experience. I'm sure some U.K. members may agree. The attitude seems to be one of 'well it hasn't blown up so far'. I've seen some real shockers in use. Rusty things propped up in cow shed windows, tucked round the back of tractor seats and even bits of welded patches on the barrels covering holes. Maybe it will be less so as a new generation takes over and guns here being as cheap as they are at the moment. Lagopus.....
Thanks for the reply, lagopus. Having farmed, and lived in a highly agricultural region, all of my life here I couldn't make a case that farmers have any corner on carelessness or foolhardiness concerning guns. It seems to be fairly and equally distributed throughout our society. Fools are where you find them, and carelessness seemingly abounds in every station.
Best, Stanton Hill
