Their inland ranch country reminded me a lot of ours, with a lot of very conservative people, fiscally and socially. I didn't chat much about gun rights so won't comment, but they sure shot the heck out of predators and varmints. Always had varmint rifles in the vehicles. I also worked with several Royal Australian Air Force folks. Many of them were absolutely nuts and a Warrant Officer in particular, in a good way. I liked them.

My New Zealand outfitter was absolutely pro-gun for self defense, but maybe he was an exception. I dunno....
