shropshire 0 #1 January 29, 2005 Hi All - this is probably not SC material but it's about guns... QuoteA bank robber has been allowed to claim the £1,400 cost of the gun he used as a legitimate business expense. The 46-year-old criminal was able to set the price of the pistol against his gross proceeds of £4,700, which he stole in the southern Dutch town of Chaam. Now that's class.... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/01/26/wexp26.xml&sSheet=/news/2005/01/26/ixnewstop.html (.)Y(.)

JohnMitchell 16 #8 January 30, 2005 1400 pounds for a gun? That's one hell of a lot of dough for a gun. Did he have a reciept for tax purposes? I thought gun ownership was legal in Holland. It is in France and Belgium, whether or not gun-hating liberals in this country want to belive it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know what sort of weapon you could buy in the US after getting that converted into Dollars? Or you could buy 2 of a pretty nice weapon.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
