Sad

Yes, a very sad, sad day.
Three dead policemen and one dead medic. The murderer was found dead (head shot) and burned in his "secret room".
Now the media circus starts. He was owning a Austrian hunting permit, over 100 guns were found, legal and illegal. The first anti-gun slogans are starting.

Listen to the BBC report on this very anti gun.

Unfortunately. You just have to scream "gunnut" and all join the same song. Basically the whole of Europe, or the European government is against firearms in public hands. The first steps towards disarmament, were already given by the specifications to central registries. Here in Germany anyway since 1972......
When it comes to weapons, it is not interested in whether they were now possessed legally or illegally. Just ban everything.

I'm going to be in Austria in 11 days on a hunting trip - I hope there are no bad repercussions from this...

No worries utcb - Austria has the deepest rooted hunting culture in the EU - vast majority understand a difference between a loose cannon and a true hunter - you will have a ball.

BTW - what are you after - Stag, Chamois...?

I hope they turn over the convicted murderer to the victims' families. They should apply the correct amount of justice. If not he could be hung on the courthouse steps at high noon with his family paying for the rope and scaffolding. Packy

that might be a bit hard to do as he was found shot in the head( self inflicted apparently) and burned
