I begged for a Pershing II when I served the Swiss army but they did not believe me that I just wanted to protect myself. I still hate them. Markus

(flame retardant suit: ON). :-) As I said, I was joking (had no idea it would spark this debate. In Canada, handguns are so heavily restricted as to be virtually illegal. Yes, long guns are guns, but they don't become involved in inner city murders (which is where most of the gun deaths occur in Canada). It's hard to walk the streets inconspicuously with a rifle or shotgun in hand. So, with large rural areas, long guns are rather ubiquitous here, but they don't become involved in crime very often. 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 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
