Yes I like guns too. Just like a great fly rod with care they only get better and more valuable with age.
You gotta love it!!
One of the things I miss from living over in rural MS is the ability to go out with my .22 and shot a few coke cans. Throw an chunk of wood in the creek and shot it as it floated away. With 800,000 people in the county you have to go to range here. Poking holes in paper is just not the same. Of course, flying along shooting hardpoint with a M60 out of the door of a UH-1 was a good way to end National Guard AT. We did manage to set the desert on fire back in the 70’s but we offered to stomp it out.
Good ads , I like that song… cause I like guns:)
Always be safe…
Sometimes it takes the absurd to illustrate a GREAT point. Unc j’s video does just that.

Uncle Jesse, you might like to check out the banner of the Whitehorse Star in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory
I don’t know if they got it from Stillwell or vice versa… at least the translation is there.
I don’t know either, Vinegar Joe was an Army commander in the south Pacific in WWII, I’m guessing whitehorsestar.com wasn’t quite up on the internet yet when he started using it…
Gun control…Isn’t that using two hands?

I always thought it was being able to hit your second shot.
UJ,
One of my favorite reasons for opting for a .45 ACP over 9mm is that “shooting twice is just silly”. 
REE
But Ron, that second shot is FUN!!
I’m with you Ron. Give me a .45 any day. The only reason it has 8 rounds is because there may be more than one Illegitimi.
Now that’s funny…I particularly like that “Gunny” was working there 
Ron, you know darn well sometimes there’s two targets. Then you need good gun control to transition. I’m with you on the .45, if it’s going take more than one mag I want a shoulder fire weapon, maybe something in a 7.62 range.
UJ,
Speaking of gun control, I just this evening, brought home a really clean M-1 Garand. Holy Moly, but I love that rifle. Can’t wait to bust some caps with it. For those in the know…Yes, my right thumb is slightly larger than my left. I’ve seen what a .45 can do, there is very seldom a need for a second shot in the same target. Now if your in a target rich environment…
Byron Z,
As a combat sniper, I’ve always been of the one well placed shot, one kill practice, or are we talking paper targets here with the 2d shot being fun.

I had very limited exposure to the M-1 but would love to own a M-14 which is what I trained with a lovely Ft. Polk (a bit of humor there in case you missed it).
Uncle Jesse, I also trained with the M-14 at Ft Polk. I remember Sgt Spencer saying, “Do not lose your weapon, or you WILL have to pay the $65 to replace it.” I wish I could get one for $65 today.
I just bought one of these. A Ruger SR40 40 S&W with plastic frame.
This is my boogie man deterrent. Its a pre-lock S&W 686 .357 with Goncalo Alves grips
Jesse & Joe,
That makes three of us that trained with the M-14 at beautiful Fort Puke…er…ah…Polk. Back in the good old days, fire watch at night, keeping the coal fired furnaces going even though you could see through the cracks in the barracks walls. Peeling spuds, getting stuck on pots and pans or cleaning the grease trap when on KP. I just remembered, I really hated that place.
I got my love of the M-1 while in high school ROTC. They were the rifles we used for drill and ceremonies, tactics training, and marksmanship.
