I would look like some sorta savage shooting skeet with my 870, truck doors open blaring Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I don't know about them, but I'd do some of that if I was a filthy rich American.

I wish I was pompous and lived in England. Alas, I am not high society.

I would be like most of us on here.
I would be happy with my Mossberg 500 with interchangeable barrels and a flannel shirt. I bet I could shoot with the best of them, all for under a grand, easily!
Take that!

Neither does anyone else till something goes awry.
Same as drinking and driving, OK till the drinker hits something or someone.
Just my 2 cents.

That's why it's in moderation. If you're drinking enough to make what you're doing dangerous, that's excess.
One or two glasses of wine? Aside from the more petite ones there, I'd worry more about those terrible suits.

There is a huge difference between being drunk and shooting guns and having a few beers and shooting. If you know your limitations and moderate. You know when its time to put the guns away. I have enjoyed shooting with my close friends for years while enjoying a few beers when we do it. As long as you are in good company with people you know you can trust.
Nothing wrong with it in my opinion.

Amazing that the guns are still hand made using old work techniques in the era of automation. No wonder they are so expensive. They are fine looking firearms though.,

Knowing your limitations & moderate happens daily in court, and its the drinker who looses. Alcohol & firearms & driving have NO place together.
Two beers put a 120 lb person over the limit.

So you've never gone to dinner, had a drink and drove home?
When guns are outlawed, only elitist Brit snobs will have guns.
In the 1970's I was stationed in England. I met an elderly British gentleman who had served as a government official in Kenya between the great wars. He was gracious enough show me his picture albums of hunting large game and bird hunting.He'd bagged more than one animal from the "Big Four', as he called them.(Lion, elephant,rhino, and Cape buffalo). He also let me handle and examine his collection of rifles and shotguns. I remember he had James Purdys,Holland&Hollands,W.J.Jefferys, Westley Richards,etc. Definately a different lifestyle.

Apples to oranges on having a drink with a meal and driving. Autos have safety devices such as seat belts, air bags, fenders, and the protection built into them in case of collision. Firearms have no provisions to protect one against negligence.
I have never shot a firearm after having a drink. Many years ago, before I became an adult, I drove after drinking a beer or two. After I became an adult, I realized only a childish person, or a very weak person, would put others at risk while buzzed or drunk.
As a firearms trainer and things related to them, I have seen court cases go bad for folks who "only had a drink or two" before a negligent act.
If you are cold sober, accidents can happen. If even slightly impaired, it becomes negligence.
Do you go to work or church buzzed?

I for one would love to own one of their fine guns or "works of art". There's no question a Remington 1100 would break as many clays, IMHO. But why not enjoy both the fine shooting and the fine craftsmanship? To me it's like getting out the "good" china. It doesn't function any better than the Corelle but it's just nice to have for friends & guests on special occasions.
