Les,

No pocketknives and now they want to melt cowboy guns...that police guy needs to be removed from office. Unfortunately if he is removed, he might be replaced with one who is even less reasonable.

475Guy,

Melbourne is a different world...I lived near a military base where there was a big sign saying it was the home of the Australian Military Police Training Battalion...not too far away from that sign was another sign saying "THESE PREMISES GUARDED BY CHUBB SECURITY". Chubb Security personnell guarding the gate appeared to be unarmed.
