The conservation area ends at the Civic Theatre. I don't agree with all the resentment over the shop itself. Why do people have such a problem with legal gun ownership. It is the illegal guns used by criminals you should be worried about. The Government introduced a stupid hand gun law that only managed to prevent law abiding citizens from enjoying there sport. The law has not reduced gun crime in the UK, in fact gun crime has increased so what is the point in banned people from owning hand guns?
I agree with this that Prince Phillip said in 1996

If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily - I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?

How about an interesting gun fact

In March 1996, a crazy man shot children at a school in Dunblane, Scotland, with a rifle. Bowing to liberal media pressure and the anti-gun lobby, just two months before the General Election of 1997, the Government banned all handguns over .22 calibre. Not rifles - handguns.

That made a lot of sense didn't it. He killed people with a rifle so we banned hand guns.
