We also had two small handguns inherited from my ex's dad, which have never been fired as far as I know.
Now, my ex has all of them. I don't even want a gun in the house with my son.
Believe me if there were cougars wandering around where I live I would have kept my old shotgun.
Are there any serious wildlife threats in the UK? Large bears? Cougars? Wolves? There are still many areas here where one really does need to keep some sort of protection on hand, either to protect themselves or their livestock.
Unfortunately, often the 'predators' are human ones... with guns. It's gotten out of control really.
