Wales and Scotland yeah, but Northern Ireland mandates off-duty carry even!

It appears Ireland Republic does not arm its officers, so my bad on that one.

Actually looking at that website shows that 20 police dogs have been killed in a year in the US and that makes me loving angry. Angry enough to get a gun and shoot someone, I won't do that because that would make me as bad as you, but still, it makes me angry.

I'm going to a wedding outside of Aberdeen (Banchory) this summer with a bunch of relatives who traditionally get wasted and start massive fist fights with each other. Do Scottish police arrest people for that sort of thing or just laugh and join the brawl?

Also, what are some good Scottish insults to hurl around? I wanna fit in.

Tell them that you're Margaret Thatchers nephew and her finest moment was loving the Scots in the arse. Then tell them that the Scot regiments got amalgamated because Scotland only had enough spine to field one regiment. If you've not been chibbed then something has gone badly wrong.

Can't speak for Northern police, they'll leave the wedding party alone surely.

Useful insults? Cheuter is a good one for highlanders. Pronounced tuechter.

Don't forget liberal use of the word 'oval office'. It's a classic and a winner.

Good use of chib. It's colloquial for a weapon and It's pronounced as it seems. Cheuter is just a funny one as we say words like loch with the ch different to our English neighbours.

Find out if the Groom is Rangers or Celtic, then wear the opposing club's strip. It may sound trivial to Americans but people have died over which club they support. Also if they are Celtic make sure you work the word Fenian in to every sentence and also pretend to play the flute at every opportunity.

This must be a soccer thing because I was legit confused why scots would be angry over an american hockey team and an american basketball team.

Well technically we bankrupted them and then bought the country and made it sign the act of the union. They tried to start a new colony in South America ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darien_scheme )and mortgaged Scotland up to the hilt to pay for it. It didn't go well and the English hosed them over by refusing to trade with it and letting the Spanish gently caress with it. They lost so much money that we bought the country for £398,085 which is less than my 2 bed london flat is worth. In my opinion we paid well over the odds. We never really managed to conquer the Scots for a long period of time, every time we did we'd get distracted by France or fighing eachother and Scotland would go feral again.

People who aren't aware of the Old Firm probably think it's about football, but actually it's about religion and politics. Not much football is actually played in the S.P.Hell but the fans will piss on anyone else in Europe.

I can't stand football which makes me particularly negative towards it.

All the pish that goes along with football and the sectarian behaviour in part associated is a massive waste.

Goodness knows how we fix it but progress certainly is being made.

Football is a bag of shite. All the cancelled rest days have been because of it. 95% of the grief I get comes from football related disorder.

I didn't even know what sectarianism was before having to deal with Scots travelling for football.

Dear god I want to see someone start playing an imaginary flute mid-fight, that would be surreal. Anyway it turns out they're not all Scottish- the groom is from Wolverhampton and half of his family is coming up from Birmingham or some poo poo so I can probably cover all the bases by calling everyone cunts and yelling:

Vancouver spends all their time burning one down already. Torching the city is just a natural extension of their reefer-induced psycho hippie rage.
