‘Council workers want guns to fend off crocodiles during NT wet season
COUNCIL workers in the Northern Territory want guns to fend off crocodiles during the wet season.
Victoria Daly shire staff at Nauiyu, on the Daly River, have asked the council to get a firearms licence so they can arm themselves in “execution of their duty”, NT News reports.
……….Victoria Daly Shire chief executive Sandra Cannon said the council was investigating the costs of firearms licences, but said the task of opening and closing the gates was an NT Government contract job.
Ms Cannon said getting a firearms licence would cause difficulties and possible extra insurance costs.
“(The question is): do we really want to take the huge risk around firearms?” ‘
Here’s a better question, you effing moron: Are YOU prepared to climb into a tiny boat and go out there to open the gates?
Thought not….bastards like you–sitting in comfortable airconditioned offices–would prefer men to risk their lives than to confront their own hoplophobia. You’re contemptible.
