Well I've had three stolen with only one recovered. What's my excuse for not digging out the Smith & Wesson?
People, let's not forget there was an affray conviction as well as the firearm. And that copper does not sound best pleased.

So six months for affray and possession of a firearm not harsh enough?!

Probably some truth in that

That sounds absurd, unless you mean to go in an talk to the kids about crime prevention and avoiding getting caught up in crime (though that's probably better done by reformed offenders. In this case, I used to work on Urmston Lane and I can assure you Urmston is not exactly The Bronx

We need to build more prisons, rationalise sentencing, get more police on the streets and remove persistent offenders from society for good. If we did that maybe law-abiding citizens would not have to break the law in order to live a crime & nuisance free life.

Whatever your opinions on sentencing and prisons, surely vigilantism, especially with a firearm, cannot be condoned? Where precisely would that end?

And there is also local councillors, MPs to complain too. They are effective at applying pressure.
