For one thing, there are no legal air pistols in the UK that are capable of being classed as "firearms". For another, she fired the pellet at the guy's feet--by no means "disproportionate". If she had hit him in the gut, the prosecution might have had a case, but even then it sounds like he had it coming.<BR/><BR/>As always the police are petrified of a public left defenceless in the face of their total ineffectiveness taking matters into their own hands and rendering them obsolete. This is why, for example, women who might otherwise have escaped rape through use of mace or pepper sprays find themselves unable to defend themselves through the devices' illegality. To justify some hopeless PC Plod's job driving around the suburbs in a souped up patrol car.Terranixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513843955591501635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9373692.post-1112343339208382962005-04-01T09:15:00.000+01:002005-04-01T09:15:00.000+01:00I was just surprised she missed!!I was just surprised she missed!!Snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069053283344578792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9373692.post-1112341141076969522005-04-01T08:39:00.000+01:002005-04-01T08:39:00.000+01:00That teacher should have used a pump action shotgu...That teacher should have used a pump action shotgun.
