From: "David M", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be very careful what you do with empty cartridge cases! Remember the the man who held up the restaurant by exhibiting a cartridge in his hand? Such is the level of ignorance and hysteria about firearms in the UK these days that anyone equipped with a walking stick with a fired 12 bore cartridge on the end of it might find themselves surrounded by the kevlar cowboys and facing a charge of possessing a banned firearm (walking stick gun) or worse shot dead like poor old Harry Stanley. Sad to say this is only half tongue in cheek! David. -- It's not uncommon to use shotgun cases that way, I've seen things like it at game fairs. Steve.
