UK here Bob. cant own anything with much muzzle velocity without a licence.

I've just got an old Weihrauch .22 It will kill a rabbit at 50 yards 
once in a blue moon when you get the drop juts right and the wind isn;t 
blowing

The nearest Neighbors are about 300 yards down the hill, 500 yards up 
the hill or a couple of miles cross country either side

But the doctor is only a mile away,

Noble savages were all the rage in the Romantic Period.

In Rwanda there are two tribes that slaughtered each other - Hutu and Tutsi

But one thing united them, their hatred of the Twa - the hunter gatherer 
pygmies from the rain forest who would wander into every town and 
village and 'gather' anything that wasn't nailed down.
