    This is a bit mental. I know 99% of people you approach this wouldn't happen but there is still that chance.
    Police arrived unarmed 45mins later after they had left. I'd expect the same thing here if they even arrive at all.

    I remember a story about the local Gardai during the 80's when the Border Fox was running riot around the coutryside. Reinforcements were called from the local station, so four of the lads got into the squad car unarmed to tackle a heavily armed gang of terrorists. They drove as slowly as they could to rendevous with their comrades who had supposedly surrounded him in a shed. Needless to say the lads arrived a couple of hours later after crawling the 20 miles or so up the road. The border fox was well gone by the time they arrived.

    I can't blame the cops for being 45minutes late in this instance.:o

    Yet the British police can be on the scene within minutes seemingly with a full compliment of helicopter borne armed police in full ninja kit to arrest and subdue any piegon shooters in broad daylight after a few curtain twitchers make a phone call to complain about "cammoflaged terrorists out shooting piegons".

    Obviously a different story when it is dark.... NV isnt THAT expensive anymore..Ask "ER" nicely she might buy you a few sets:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::(
