vulcanglock Life is not a race to get to the day you die !

I see the reasoning behind  the allegation of being a multiple personality , as you ASSUMED that I had specially invented this name to suit the subject matter . This is a username which I have used for a couple of years due to the fact that a Glock is what carry at work and the prefix of vulcan had a certain ring to it  !  Please feel free to search for me on Ebay and you will see how long I have used that name . No hard feelings . Au Revoir .

I will admit I didn't read all the thread , but I was annoyed  (as it appears some others were ) that the original person enquiring about shooting was damned as a hunting type . I didn't day Mazan was  generally ignorant . I stated he was ignorant ( o.k. let's say misinformed ) about shooting as a sport in general . I have friends who have country properties  in Mayenne and they have told me that hunters are a pain , but I didn't offer my opinion because I don't know enough about the subject ! When involved in pistol shooting I was advised  and taught by experienced people and then had to show that I was safe with a firearm on a range . The two day course was only to qualify for that particular licence . I already had  completed a three week course with the police  some years before and privately been given a certificate to authorise me to be a ' Range officer ' . As for this not being my first post ,  I'm afraid it is .  Best wishes to all . ( even Mazan )  

As usual - an opinion by Mazan based on ignorance of a subject he knows very little about. I will bow to your superior knowledge about hunters but there are many others forms of shooting . Target shooting , Clay,  Practical rifle , shotgun,  and pistol shooting for which you need to pass a  two day course and have a world recognised licence . All these involved putting holes in cardboard targets as accurately and as fast as possible . Due to this stupid government and Britains even more stupid people , a lot of shooting is no longer possible in the U.K . ( Another small reason to move to France ) . People rave on about the loss of jobs and revenue with regard to fox hunting . How many people do you think were laid off  due to the ' Dunblane , pre -election ban ' . It makes me laugh how the government decide that I'm not safe to own a pistol to shoot holes in paper targets. but I can stand on the streets with 34 rounds , guarding government buildings and embassies . Crazy !! Oh well - rant over . P.S. If somebody does know anything about practical pistol events in  France - Please let me know .    XXXX
