[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 371950, member: 10447"] I have found this discussion very interesting, I now have a bit of an insight into a world that is very different to where I live. Before gun control was tightened here in Australia I did own a couple of rifles that I used for recreational hunting, mainly feral pigs. I haven't owned a firearm for about 25 years now, in that time, and for the previous years of my life for that matter, I have never needed a gun for protection against humans. I occasionally need a gun these days to protect my pets against wild dogs, I live in a rural environment where they are quite common, when I do need one, I borrow one off a neighbour who is a registered firearm owner, they take a risk of lending me the gun as I am don't have a gun licence. I deal with the problem and return the gun along with a few beers to show my appreciation. I have never had any problem shooting to kill feral animals, but I don't think I could bring myself to shoot a human, though that might change if I were put in a bad situation where my life or loved ones were in danger, I hope I am never put into that situation.
