I grew up with guns, the first time I shot a .22 rifle I think I was still in
diapers. It was in the farm yard and my dad and two hired hands who lived with
us had set up a firing range to sight in their rifles for the fall hunting and
a little plinking. I remember how critically the men told me how to do
everything in handling any and all firearms. As I grew older I was allowed in
various stages of involvement to participate a days hunt, as were all the
children where I grew up. I hunted on the way to school during season and as
long as I had the gun broken down before I was on the school yard I was fine.
I stored my gun above my cubby in the cloak room right along with my
schoolmates who also did the same. This was the culture back then. My dad was
very happy when I reached the age of 10 because then as was the practice I got
my own gun and stopped using his prized Remington pump action.
The results of this cultural training is a deathly fear of the mis-use of guns
and habits so deeply ingrained on how to handle guns that failure to do so
renders one sleepless and as a group anyone who does not have these habits is
immediately excluded from being around while guns are present. More than one
fool has been sent home unceremoniously from our hunting trips for their
transgressions.
I am also for single payer health care and the regulation of the economy as
Teddy Roosevelt implemented and the despicable raygun and his ilk abolished.

*cough* I'm more liberal than conservative (pro-single payer health care for
instance) but I love guns and have a carry permit.
I like the story. :-D I used to read gun mags but I never received that
response.

Some 12 years ago we were in a supermarket "shopping more milk" and the boys

his 180 I.Q. and type A personality piped up and retorted "We like guns. they
kill people." sending the creep into a fit, as my kid stood there dead panning

I certaily hope I don't have to put any discalimers about the intention of my
