You needed to bring guns into the conversation. He’d have listened then.
Ah yes. Never though of that. Would definitely work.
Not sure I've mentioned it before but my brother-in-law is in 'Law Enforcement' the US. Years ago me and two mates were over there skiing and on the last day nipped in to the police station to say goodbye. He took us for a tour of the station that included the armoury. There were at least 20 M16s on the wall in there! They have 8 cops 😐
