Bill I am really a country boy at heart. I live on the outskirts of Edinburgh and where I was brought up was farmland. There was a stream about twenty paces from my front door. I spent most of my youth in there catching trout. Usually with my hands. Guddling we called it. I used to have ferrets and go hunting rabbits which were plentiful. We had fresh eggs and live chickens which my grandfather killed while we watched. No big deal it was a part of life. The one thing we did have was respect for property, elders, the police, the farmer who let us do a lot of things on his land and our wildlife and surroundings. We did get up to mischief I am no angel but nothing criminal or hurtful. I have no problem with country folk having guns. But folk in cities who have no respect for themselves, their neighbours or surroundings and have never touched a live chicken let alone wrung it's neck no way. THEY NEED EDUCATIN FIRST.
