I immediately got a HALF-HOUR long lecture on how I was "opening [my]self up to the path of violence" by owning guns". Yes, that's a direct quote.<BR/><BR/>You know, they say that revenge is a dish best eaten cold... I've taught both of her kids to shoot. Her son got a Ruger 10/22 for his last birthday (from me) and as soon as her daughter has a place to keep it (that's not in my sister's house), she's getting one, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-69903246983898021342008-04-21T17:51:00.000-04:002008-04-21T17:51:00.000-04:00I finally bought a gun safe a couple of months ago...I finally bought a gun safe a couple of months ago.

It was raining and sleeting. I was kneeling on the ground. My hat got soaked. At the end of each round, I warmed my hands by gripping the barrel shroud.It was warm enough that I was able to keep my trigger finger warm. <BR/><BR/>That feeling, standing there in the driving rain with a warm rifle barrel in my hand, a red shop rag tied around the trigger to keep it dry...<BR/><BR/>Happiness is a warm gun.
