Bellevaunce, I spent 15 years editing English papers. You are right on the money, keep it simple and straight. The easier it is to follow the logic, the better. The original was good, but I thought the grammar a bit over-complex. Not wrong, just too complex for a letter to the editor.

Mine went to stimulate the local government. My first real estate tax installment was due the week the check came. About half that was for .gov pensions. I guess there were a few bucks left over for food.

My daughter, aged about two I guess, made a lego 'gun' to shoot the big bad wolf with.... Later she decided that the wolf had got a bad rap, and felt sorry for it. In MY version of the story, the wolf ended up as dinner in the pot and a nice lap rug for Grandma.

Huh. Price must be a mistake, at least the Russian price. I can't imagine that when the US price is so much lower. You would think black market guns in Japan would be cheaper too, as easy as guns are to make with pretty basic machine tools. A few years back the Aum Shinrikio was making...

Nope. I was a memeber for 15 years in Japan. You may have to pay a bit more to get the magazine mailed, I don't recall but I think so.

I caught part of the show, at about 6:00 AM as I was driving home from work. It was great and I wanted to hear the whole thing. Too bad it wasn't prime time.

And, they make great clubs after your one and only shot. A lot of hand to hand in those days and no time to reload.

Hurrah! Can anyone say 'excess capacity' and 'price competition' ? Once things have calmed down a bit in Iraq, we should have piles and piles of cheap ammo pouring into the country.

Every bad thing that happens in the US is broadcast worldwide. I saw it happen again and again when I lived overseas. Those who pay close attention to the news can find many examples of school shootings and other heinous crimes, but if they happen in any country but the US they get little...

Sigh, the memories.... I spent a fair amount of time in that store back about 1989. Lots of nice stuff. I actually bought my first gun another block or two farther down the street. at the other gun store. Florida, some things you just gotta love about it.

Check out www.primitivearcher.com You can read a lot of the articles on line, and they have forums you can ask questions on. I like wood longbows myself, pretty easy to make and lots of fun to shoot. Simple fiberglass bows can be had very cheap used. Might be a place to get started and...

Funniest thing I ever saw was a pheasant that flew up from under my feet. Scared me so I couldn't react, but that stupid pheasant flew about 2 feet and slammed into a fence wire. He bounced back down and lay there flopping for a few seconds, right at my feet again. Then he got up and took off...

Boomer, you were what? 16? 18? We all did some pretty dumb things back then. Alcohol involved by any chance?

Been following Muir for a few years now. Funniest strip out there. That was a brave thing to do. And I love his gun-toting babes calender.

Is the 'wingspan rule' something that is on the books somewhere in Illinois? I keep a handy pamphlet that describes the Illinois law in the case with my gun. It says nothing about this. Just that the gun must be unloaded and fully covered in a case, snapped or zipped closed.
