That's not my point, Drobs. Refusing to sell (not give away, sell) your "precious" gun to a museum that specializes in weapons and it's staff do the best they can to spread gun culture and knowledge in the current anti-gun UK reality is simply rude in my book. BTW, I believe that the real problem was the paperwork involved in importing that gun to England and no one wanted to bother... It's quite easy for us to say: "Screw those Brits!" but let me tell you something - I have close friends there who are very pro-gun and they work hard every day to share their knowledge. That picture I have attached? It's from a private collection and the owner repeatedly invites students from local schools to be educated, to learn how to care for those firearms, to simply try to make them more interested in firearm history and to see, that guns are not necessary "evil". At his expense. Those people need all of our support for what they are trying to do and being rude and arrogant is, to put it simply, just stupid.
Here is just one project from the Royal Armouries Museum - doesn't seem anti-gun to me, but what do I know...

You really think this is a true story?
Why would a museum in England want a modern BP Derringer? Sounds completely made up to me.
Edited to add looking at their collection of guns - a modern Derringer could fit right in there.
Little known fact, but England does still "allow" civilian ownership of firearms.
