How many guns are out there...really?

Or could be like the gun an acquaintance has. Seems his pal liked to go hunting on Mahogany Ridge and chasing the barmaid. Well, the guys wife discovered this and took his nice Remington 700 outdoors, shoved the barrel down between the bumper/frame on the guys truck and REALLY gave it a heave/ho. I guess it would work OK if you wanted to shoot around obstructions!!! (has a nice S curve in it) Guy I knew was a advid hunter, in and out of season, anyway, he had a .410 that was his favorite food getter for small game. Well, having no gun safe, he hid it under the cushions in his sofa. Fairly good plan except when he got home, he and his family sat down on it. I took the barrel to work and and got the worst of the bend out. A few pattering sessions with feed back from the owner and I managed to get it to shoot right again. Ah for the good old days when you could walk in to work with guns or gun parts and nobody got excited.

Site security went berserk at the behest of my manager, who saw me coming and got worried :-) It was for verifiably destroying some hard disks that had military data on them... Mark Rand RTFM |

Or, down the street, even.
I think that now days, you need to wear obviously a uniform of any kind, and then the gun is OK. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "Wes" wrote in message ...
