Got stopped by a local cop once as a youngster of 18 or 19, carrying an air rifle in a duffelbag on a footpath. Told me to get a proper case that covered the muzzle and recorded my details and the calibre - just in case he had to go enquiring about some pellet vandalism. Could and would have thrown the book at me if he'd been a dickhead or if I had mouthed off at him.
