Looking at the photograph of the weapon, it is certainly not one I would want in the hands of the public. Is there a medium in place such as a gun club or other secure facility to ensure it would not be in a person’s home? Is there some secure way such as a gun club that adheres to international standards of allowing the practice continue instead of having it in the back of someone’s car which would be entirely unacceptable?
