    Bless you, BlueBella. They sell guns and knives at Wal-Mart in the hunting section. ;) It's not that big a deal, lol.

    OMG I have obviously lived a sheltered life! I don't watch gangster or gang movies or any violent documentaries ! I just watch soaps like Corrie and Emmerdale or programmes like Ant 'n' Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Splash and Dancing on Ice! And I eat pink cupcakes, drink pink rose, have pink hair and wear pink and like fluffy animals! WOW! 0053.gif

    They are a legal product so it's no different to having a bottle of wine or a can of beans as a prize.

    You can win legal guns in this country, closed now but there was a very nice £4,000 shotgun up for grabs here

    Yes, but do you not need a licence to own a gun here or to enter a competition to win one? Surely companies cannot just giveaway guns as prizes willy nilly in this country! :eek::eek::eek:

    You would need the appropriate licence but for those who have or get one it is a competition the same as any other and no different to guns being given as prizes in the USA.
