I don't own a gun or drink.

Epic moral win!

j/k, whatever you feel is morally correct, Romans 14:14 and all that.

Haha, I would love to take up shooting. It is just rather harder to do in the UK than it is in the States.

But I am good on the no booze thanks

That's the perfect rifle for informal target shooting. Inexpensive and the ammunition is very mild.

Our Olympic shooting team can't even train in the UK, so no

We even have increasing difficulty these days in buying air guns, let alone anything which actually fires a bullet...

We have what I am sure you would find, as an American, a rather draconian gun control system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom
