I traded in a model 19 357 that was then stolen from the store and used in a murder.
Though I guess it's a bit silly (as I know objects don't have personalities of their own and if you own milsurp there is a good chance it might have been used in combat), anyone else ever feel odd owning one?
Bromdenlong, I agree with you. The French thing is funny every now and then, but far from the truth. The French military must be separated from the political decisions that are the basis for the whole "France always retreats" thing. For goodness sakes, when the French left Vietnam, their military wrote detailed after action reports and recommendations about fighting a guerrilla war that the US completely and totally ignored before going into the same country and we know how that one went for us.NavyLCDR:
The French didn't surrender in WWI. They did the majority of the fighting and dying for the Allies on the Western Front. Their generals were idiots, but their troops fought bravely. It is very possible your Lebel has fatally shot someone.
My aunt had a revolver that her husband used to kill a train robber with,it was an old break top.I was given the gun.To my dismay,I had a smith check it over before firing it myself due to its age and it spit lead on his hands from being out of time,Left some nasty little cuts.He ended up getting it for free simply because I felt bad about the whole thing.
