  1. Re: Dan’s Vacation: I added a Scottish stag hunt to a Tanzanian lion hunt a few years ago requiring me to bring the big African rifles to Scotland. Wife and I had a great time in Africa spending almost a month on the Dark Continent, shooting Cape Buffalo, hippo, roan antelope, lion, and leopard. I had obtained permits to bring all of the African rifles through Scotland and planned to use the .300 WinMag (my light African rifle) on stag. Upon landing in Edinburgh, I produced the permits and collected my rifles (a .500/.416 NItro wildcat double rifle, .458 Lott bolt, and of course the .300WM). The ammo for the two big rifles was counted and was I told it would be recounted upon exiting Scotland and none of it should be shot. Upon arrival at the Highlands lodge, I was asked to remove the bolt from the .458 Lott and break down the double rifle. Each component was stored in separate safes and all of the ammo in a third safe. The next day, a constable stopped by to ensure all of these security requirements had been met. On the stag hunt I was shocked to see the Ghillie pick up my rifle (not permitted old chappie, professionals only). The Ghillie pocketed five rounds of .300WM and we set out. Upon sighting a stag, the Ghillie loaded one round in the magazine, pointed out the animal that I was to shoot and handed me the weapon. Afterwards, I had to return the rifle to the care of the so called professional. No wonder Holland and Holland has moved to the US.

      • This is how bad Scotland has got.

        In April 2016 Count Dankula posted a video of his girlfriend’s pet pug Buddha titled “M8 Yer Dugs A Nazi” (Mate your dog is a NAZI) on YouTube. He says at the start of the video “My girlfriend is always ranting and raving about how cute and adorable her wee dog is so I thought I would turn him into the least cute thing I could think of, which is a Nazi.”In the video, the dog is seen preforming a Nazi salute reacting to the phrase “Gas the Jews” (OK very bad taste).
        On 19 March 2018 Count Dankula was convicted of committing a hate crime and with being “grossly offensive” by the Airdrie Sheriff Court. They said he was a NAZI a calling NAZI the most evil thing you can think of. That’s right a man who on his own film calls NAZI evil must have been making a film to try to bring back the NAZI.
        Just have a look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_(dog)
        A man in NAZI europe called his dog Hitler and got the dog to respond with a raised paw. The NAZI spent three months investigating ways of bringing Borg to trial for insulting Hitler and then let him off.

  2. Yep, a day in the future will find us speaking in whispers, in darkened rooms with the blinds closed. Only to show to the wonderment of close youth and friends what a firearm is/was. All references long removed from people’s community communication system (the internet) within the remaining books from the endangered species libraries, and long purged from grocery store news racks. Those that spoke up early on, quickly fired from jobs, somehow ran afoul of the authorities, then moved out and left, never heard from again. Enjoy your right nows, it shall not last.

  4. Ah, Dan’s vacation.
    The day that was lionized in the history books as the day that England began the long journey to being GREAT Britain again.

    All hail King Dan the First! Long live the King!

  5. Hi!
    I’m British, and there’s a LOT more than a kernel of truth to it…
    Unfortunately!
    The other part of the socialist leanings of our so-called “Leaders” is that the press would report that this was a deliberate attempt by America to prevent the kumbya-singing, peace-loving socially-aware European Federalists from uniting Britain with Europe.
    Stop Colin, take a breath!
    Okay. I’ve had my rant, and I’ll now go back to being a British “Gray Man”

    Ah, Come the day…
    Will there be enough ammo available to do the job that needs doing?
