I think the point would be to have a target shot by this man in our
collections. Are you kidding? We have loads of targets (especially since we
have a range in the building) and convincing VIP's to shoot up a target is so
easy. Since the project itself is a testcase, I want to make sure that a
precedent is not sent with VIP's delving into the collection in order to fire
a target at the expense of our collection.
