OK leave it in, just don't need the gun any more. -
Now if this had been Corbyn it would be headline news for a week Teresa May was warned that police cuts could have drastic consequences for our national security since 2010 20,000 police and 22,000 troops have been cut ..
She personally orchestrated the cuts and was WARNED the video says it all but may being may she knows best

I agree that the cuts to all services have weakened their effectiveness but all governments have been making cuts to all services for years, even if they don't admit it so I don't think it's fair to blame it all on Mrs May. -

Sorted at last.

We're too soft. The remains of the scum should be sewn into a pigskin bag, have pigs blood poured over them and when buried have a foot of concrete poured over the coffin to prevent it being dis-interred, his 7 virgins wouldn't want him then. -
Where was the security??? When my wife and I went to a show the other week she had her handbag searched and I had to open my jacket, and I knew the man on the door! -
I don't have a criminal record but if I was drunk and high on illegal drugs and decided to stab my former partner before throwing a computer and a glass jar at her, what do you reckon my chances would be of getting off without a custodial sentence?
Apparently the rules are different if you went to a £16,000-a-year private school, followed by a posh university.
It probably helps to have nice perky tits as well.......
Funny handshake, members of the same club, it could be any or all of those, a bit like the Muslim who didn't go to jail for rape "because his up bringing taught him women were worthless", how does that work?

All,
Ohh, I almost forgot. With the President addressing the Convention all guns had to be removed and everyone had to be scanned to be sure they were not "concealed carry" . Probably more than 20,000 guns had to be secured for a couple hours.
I think it is ironical as the President is going to speak on our "Right to Carry".

EDIT: For the uninformed rookie the M107A1 is a .50 cal. But everyone knows that - Right??
Just the job for those "distant" foxes. -

Strange, last year there was a shortage of newt food, daphna and mosquito larva, I had to import it, this year, no shortage, must've been the early warm spring started it off.
-
I've been advised that a .410 will do the job so a moderated .410 would also be acceptable. I've tried my un-moderated .410 at the range required and it will do the job.

I reckon that fox is gonna die of old age Norm.
You're probably right. I was full of hope that the trap would solve the problem while letting the fox live but something will materialise, I hope. I saw it sniffing round last night but I opened my bedroom window and shouted at it and it was over the fence like a pole vaulter. Next time it might meet an ounce of 4 shot on the way, even if it wakes the neighbours, My patience isn't endless. 
-
Thanks but I don't need 3 shots, a single will do it, at the end of the day I have a 20 bore but I don't want to wake the neighbours. Obviously no moderated 20 bores or traps available so will accept a moderated .410 as a last resort.

A lot of the time animals wont trigger the lights as Jim says try a trail cam or night vision cctv ,we had 4 badgers in the garden two ran off with the same bit of bread which was quite amusing and another night a fox sitting patiently 10 feet from a cat waiting for it to leave the pile of scraps we left out.
Most foxes wont touch cats they have claws and teeth but i suppose a few have the knack of killing them without harm to themselves .
Animals appear to know not to take avoidable risks for instance deer will only jump a fence as last resort they will always try and push through it ,breaking a leg jumping usually means a slow death
I've set the sensors to sensitive and a hog will light them up so anything bigger than a field mouse will illuminate the area. The light came on last night and it was the big dog fox, come to eat the hog food so obviously no hogs coming round. -
Put out a trail cam. You might be surprised what nocturnal visitors you're getting.
I have infra red operated security lights so I know what's visiting at night and I have actually seen the fox take a hog, it's a big dog fox, very plump, not the normal lean scavenger that the others are so it's obviously found a rich food source besides scraps and worms etc. I just wish it would eat cats instead. -
Blimey you would have thought all the asians would have eaten them
Probably got a taste for barramundi now. -
Put some perch and zander in there, they'll control the small ones letting the big ones get bigger.

People are just TOO sensitive these days.

That's it, everyone has their own agenda. In my last house I had a large garden with loads of wildlife and a row of horse chestnut trees on my boundary. I asked my neighbours if they'd mind me culling the magpies in "our trees" as nobody was sure whose they were. Oh no was the reply, you can't shoot the magpies, the RSPB says they aren't a threat to bird life. Well later that year they proudly announced that they had a chaffinch nest in their cherry tree and they could see into it from their bedroom window. 3 weeks later they asked me to shoot the magpies as they had taken the chicks within a day of hatching, both magpies gone within 24 hours, happy neighbours, not so happy with RSPB though. As the saying goes, he who saves everything conserves nothing. I conserve what I want and control those I don't want.

Norm,
I don't think they understand. You are killing that f'ing fox.

There was a chance of relocation but as that's failed, it's death by shooting. End of. -
Badgers are the main culprit when it comes to the declining hedgehog population, but badgers are easier to control than foxes.
Badgers may be culling 'hogs in the wild but there aren't any badgers in my garden. It's just one fox. -
Absolutely true Leon but my newts are increasing year on year where as my frogs are decreasing year on year due to predation by newts eating their spawn and tadpoles and frogs being eaten by hedgehogs, cats and foxes, it's nature but cats I can't do anything about (legally), hogs are declining so they warrant protection but no shortage of foxes and it's only one that is a problem so the answer is obvious, cull or remove one fox. The catch trap didn't materialise so it's an ounce (28gms) of no.3 shot to solve the problem.

March is nearly over so I guess I'm not going to get it.

Left to the conservationists, we will over-run with vermin, be it foxes, badgers, magpies, crows, Herring Gulls, cormorants, mink, otters, thieves, burglars, ......
There have to be controls.
Thief and burglar culls, bring it on.
