Sorry if it seems harsh Peter but I don't really see what point 5thBatt is making.

.....in the absence of any cogent comment from 5th batt, I interpret his post to mean that, by doing my best to understand and to stay within the law, I am doing something that he finds objectionable.

What can be objectionable about trying one's best to be a responsible and law-abiding member of the shooting community?
