Shreeeeeeeek!

That was likely the sound heard in the community when a man came across a bullet lying on the street in England(I refuse to use the phrase Great Britain as the greatness has long been nanny'ed out).
LIVE ammunition has been found lying in the doorway of a busy high street shop.

The .22 calibre short round bullet was found at the entrance of the 99p Stores in Walthamstow High Street on Wednesday morning, November 1.

Haroon Khan, who has a firearms licence and is a member of a local gun club, was alarmed to discover live ammunition in a Walthamstow doorway.
You read that right. A .22 short cartridge.
"This sort of thing should not be lying around. It was live, primed and active," he said. "But rather me pick it up than a little kid.

"How can you feel safe when you are finding things like this on the street?
....
"If it goes bang, it is still lethal."
A gelded nation.
