If it is for hunting, of course it can be locked in a security cabinet with the ammunition secured seperately but if the weapon is for self defence, one rarely gets the opportunity to release it from storage and load it.<br /><br />The second drawer down on the right hand side of my desk has been modified. Although you would not notice, it is shallower than the other fiver drawers. This allows me to clip the pistol underneath the drawer. The drawer still opens normally. To reach the weapon in a hurry you open the bottom drawer, reach in and grab the pistol off the bottom of the next drawer up. I have smashed the handle off the bottom drawer so you need bloody strong fingers to grip the stumps of the handle and pull it open.<br /><br />Also, neither Dominic who is thirteen nor Alex who is four have ever seen it.<br /><br />As this is a corrosive environment with high humidity and next to the sea I do need to clean it regularly but I only do so when I am on my own or late at night when everyone is asleep.Hippohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09468795398813061897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512022050229968490.post-30019841782132468102012-11-22T15:56:43.010+01:002012-11-22T15:56:43.010+01:00Time to check that the rest of the guns are unload...Time to check that the rest of the guns are unloaded and the ammo is locked down? <br /><br />Growing boys will always prefer guns over golf clubs.

One of the VIP players was someone a colleague of mine knew as he was one of our customers. This colleague and i worked in the same branch before she transferred over to the other office, and i had filled in a few times, so i knew this VIP player, too, but not as well.<br /><br />He was gracious to us both, and went out of his way to say hello, which stunned those in his party. In between groups of golfers not much was going on. A third bank employee had brought his clubs, and as we were a few metres away from the driving range, he decided to drive a few balls. Gave me a chance to try a few times. On my third go, the ranger came over, apoplectic that we were on the driving range when we didn't have permission.<br /><br />Never tried swinging a golf club after that. <br /><br />So good on Srs Gonçalo and Faisca indeed!
