Inside the house in the UK is a little bit sacrosanct - yes you can have much there that would instantly have you in irons outside the house vis: Any of the plethora of illegal 'martial arts' weapons Switchblades Brass Knuckles All manner of edged weapons all bludgeoning weapons in fact just about anything that isnt an illegal firearm (which curiously in Nannyland includes pepper sprays and stun guns) But lets not get too gung ho in any confusion about legality of possession in the home vs use it is put to....despite the rantings of the tabloid press and the ever tightening constraints of the UK legal system you could have say a whole ladder rack of samurai swords next to your bed (just in case) - all fine and dandy, all tickety boo so far. But should you on the occasion of finding a young heroin addict illegally in your kitchen one dark night tucking into your fridge contents execute a skilful Kesa Giri to separate the offending arm and shoulder from its owner. You will find that youve stepped over the line of 'reasonableness' to find your actions wholly illegal. A blas

But all the "from my stiff dead fingers" adherents to the "Right to Keep and Bear Arms" have surely already had their rights eroded I mean it goes hand in hand with the "Standing Militia" credo So this present day standing militia can only have "non military" (even non military looking!!) arms...the rug has already been pulled from under you .

Instructions to customer at time copy / pasted (gives idea of how it functions: .

Seen a few with a 'celestial' wheel (as opposed to the smiley sun) and revs at once per 31(day) increments .

I could give a few chapters of stories here. But sometimes the fora are their own worst enemy All too easily do people convince themselves that they are time served watchmakers and of course trained themselves to expect the embodiment of perfection in every transaction in return for their handfull o' bucks .

Dunblane The incident prayed for by the hoplophobes in the Home Office so that they could finally ride the crest of the popular press's public indignation to carry out the balance of their plans shelved from the Hungerford debacle Hugerford Somehow seen as guns are bad instead of how inept & cowardly are the police! Who were instrumental in the deaths of many of the innocents. You will recall that their stalwart tactics were to hold back until the perp had presumably run out of ammunition on his street walk - killing tax paying residents! And of course direct traffic - into the killing zone FFS! What a missed opportunity too! Perhaps the only clear cut incidence in living history were a local Firearms Certificate holder would have had the legal timeframe to see deaths at his front door, his chickenshit police force hiding some miles off on his TV, the opportunity to saunter over to his gun cabinet unlock it and select one of the 'devils right hands' therein, toodle on over to the ammo safe and unlock that too, then open a window or whatever and put the UK anti-gun agenda back a millennia or so! But Tony Blair's conceited words "Ive taken guns off the streets of Britain" had a hollow ring then and a bitter taste to the relatives of the countless gun crime victims since. Still there was a guy who felt hed achieved some kind of victory in simply surrendering to Irish terrorists (probably as a present to his money grubbing wife) after decades of British deaths in the conflict. Britain A perverse country where giving away all that made it great and eroding anything and everything pertaining to personal freedom has been turned (by some spectacular form of mass hypnosis) into commendable acts. Eroded so much so that it is now swamped with unprecedented levels of debt (yet its leaders can still junket around the planet handing out mind boggling sums in aid!!), colonized by just about anyone wanting a free ride. Where, getting back to the OP you can safely assure yourself in certain parts of this l'il island of getting yourself stabbed to bits by members of a nation of your choosing - without any legal recourse open to you to counter it. .

A curious anomaly of the English legal psyche that it can devote tombs of explanation of what constitutes an OFFENSIVE weapon (as opposed to just a weapon) with no regard to the fact that theyve now invented a category of weapons. So by definition if there are OFFENSIVE weapons there must be DEFENSIVE weapons...seems to have escaped them though Another anomaly is its the only time in English law were the accused has to prove his/her innocence. PC Plod takes a disapproving look at your roll o' coins & hoicks you off to the nick, desk sergeant charges you with the offensive weapon, CPS runs with it (banks dont issue these after all - so over to you Charlie)...and you'll end up in court having to PROVE that it is benign. Anyhoo whats with the weighted punch? Lightsaber not holding a charge these days .

Sheesh Spoke to him last year after the leg went - he told me it wasnt in fact due to the diabetes but simple corrosion, due to all you guys pissing on it (sic) But have been unable to contact him of late - Skype, landlines, mobiles all no go Ive scoured Guangzhou too - and cant get sense out of any Thais, seems I just cant get my hands on a decent ouija board anywhere. .

Wait For it...... .

Woe betides you when you rely on your humble .22 to quell a life threatening attempt by determined bad guys with weapons. All the stats in Christendom wont alter the shortcomings of your defence. You obviously missed the message in my earlier post And where am I from... reality Ballistic performance in firefights you will find is pretty uniform in its results irrespective of country it takes place in. .

Priceless retort from an old workmate of mine some twenty years ago: When asked ' why do you always carry a forty five?' He replied ' Cos no one makes a fifty five' .

I understand where you're coming from, but can I point out the naivety of this: The SOLE purpose of a hand gun in a social situation is to STOP an armed aggressor. The reason for large cal pistol choice is that it has been proven time and again that .38/9mm stops around 50% of the time with a central body hit, .45 about 95%. (.22 ONLY STOPS with a positive hit around the orbital sockets area of the face) Killing in the context of defence with a pistol is an irrelevance - the ability to STOP the opponent shooting you is the only criteria. Your pip squeak .22 shots may well kill your assailant .....Long after he's continued his pursuit of shooting you! By far the most common cal for domestic firearms deaths is the .22 believing it to magically not harbour lethality is utter stupidity. Sorry in the scenario you painted above you took all the risks: stepping outside the law (apparently), and the potential of killing...with very little of the stopping power that a "clear danger of an armed conflict" sorely requires A sensible and well engineered piece (though personally I prefer a deactivated - pinned down - grip safety) .

Sounds like your man has little experience in the shipping end of the operation. Shipping agent I use in GZ knows when the checks are on and diverts stuff elsewhere in China for dispatch. .

You'll be disappointed with prices there. Id say basically forget the idea. If as and when you find the odd reasonably priced (approaching EU price) laptop, remember: Usually comes with NO OS Any OS you get will be a copy Keyboard will be English & Thai Warranty - whatever you can squeeze out of that shop when you have a problem .

Yes that one is probably the best of a bad bunch in MBK (others arrowed on the map worth a look now n then too). They dont have 'everything' (not by a long chalk) and of course by far not the cheapest source in BKK .

Usually when this happens (left China...then nothing....the UK has no trace) its been pounced on by customs in H'row. Good news is that with China counterfeit small packets they return to sender. The above assertions re tracked everystep o' the way for Regd Air Mail should be taken with a pinch of salt, Thai Regd Air Mail for example gets NO tracking, even UKPO doesnt put on its system .

Ha Buffalo burgers in/on Catalina that brings back memories .

Well there are some out there Though not truuuuely moonphase but a celestial wheel on a 31 day revolution however within the realms of the accuracy with which you're going to set it, tis near enough

Sometimes a hard concept to grasp The two hinged sides of the clasp are both curved, you increase the tension on the 'clip' that holds them shut by increasing the length of one compared to the other - a little straightening of one (generally the lower one) makes it relatively longer and thus the clip tension more positive. But We are talking SMALL adjustment here, as above do it by hand (after all it was probably just normal wear that bent it loose to begin with - and will be what causes it in the future). .
