As pro-gun-control as I am, if I lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere, a place so isolated that it would take the police hours to get there (such places surely exist in Canada, and in the US as well), I'd certainly have a firearm in the house. Not just to protect from intruders, but from animals as well. I might never have to use it, but it would be nice to have. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
