Sadly my only experience with firing a shotgun was rather curtailed. But it was a side-by-side, of course.
Sir, you hardly needed to mention it. An over and under is NOT a gentleman's gun.

Well, so far there don't seem to be any cries of "ban all guns immediately", which makes a nice change. As for whether he should have been shot, the though did go through my mind. As fas as I can tell he was being contained and was a danger only to himself, and he'd been on the sauce. I did wonder what the hurry to storm the flat was. Maybe they should have let him sober up.

But then again if you start waving a shotgun at CO19 you really only have yourself to blame if they shoot you.
