    RTE wouldnt know a shotgun from a hurl.
    Their last Primetime "special report" on firesarms ownership showed a bunch of plastic airsoft toys ( stickers were visible on them) and claimed they were "dangerous assault rifles".

    So what really happened here?

    So far the story seems to go as follows.
    Guy brings van to travellers to get it repaired
    Guy does not want to pay for the repairs.
    Guy gets Garda friend to help him recover van.
    Garda friend gets into altercation and kills a Dog and wounds Dogs owner.

    If thats the correct version then its bizarre ...to put it mildly!!


    No - the van was being removed from the bearded gentleman as he hadn't paid for repairs on the van - that's my understanding

    They also had the line one day regarding a ceased sniper rifle with scope and silencer. It was a feckin .22 rifle.

    As soon as you touch the Garda its game over in my book, wouldnt stand for any of that crap is USA or most jurisdictions, imagine touching a French or spanish cop, they'd either shoot you or beat the living daylights out of you

    They don't do it for fun, they carry it as a precaution.
    One guy used to carry a 44 Magnum, but not since bear spray became popular.

    Are you for real??

    Firstly you say the accent is clearly not knacker, it clearly is

    Secondly you say Longford is a big county. Again you are clueless, it’s the 29th biggest county you clown

    Finally woken up and got out of bed?

    You take things a little too literal re the size thing.

    And you must have sleep in your eyes if you read anyone on this thread say "the accent is clearly not knacker".

    Its fairly safe to say that the accent is indeed knacker sounding

    I read somewhere that there are no recorded incidences ever, of a person successfully defending themselves from a grizzly bear with a handgun.

    Ah, and that old chestnut, "high powered". High powered in compaired to what? High powered isn't a classification.

    Handguns are not terribly accurate unless close up, by the time an accurate shot is fired the shooter is probably on the way to the bears stomach.

    not true at all. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2018/06/dean-weingarten/wyoming-another-successful-handgun-defense-against-a-grizzly-bear/


    Firearms are not as successful as bear spray though (bear spray NOT pepper spray).

    Get bitten by the dog or strangled by his tie. It'd just be another garda assaulted case in the local papers and no one would notice.

    High powered compared to a tinkers dog perhaps?

    He was well within his rights to shoot the people who were pulling him by his clothes and shouting "get him to the grubber" (get him to the ground), trying to disarm him
