Another Incident

Just up the road from me, from reading the report it doesn't look as though anyone else is involved, but more grist to the anti's mill, no doubt. A tragic incident that will probably be abused.

Looks like and is being treated as an isolated incident, retired policeman and his wife.

Very sad, thoughts are with the bereaved.

Quote from Sky News:

One man who lived near property said he believed Mr Dowling had a firearms licence.

He said: "I have known him for more than a decade and he was into shooting.

"I'd seen him load what looked like a big gun case into his car a few times, I think he went pheasant shooting.

Very sad.

Seems to have been a spate of serving and retired officers who have taken their own lives recently. We had another in our force only a couple of weeks ago....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
