Gene, the driving on the left side goes back to the days of knights etc. You wanted the guy you were passing to be on your right side, so your sword arm was free to take action if necessary. Guess they didn't worry about left eye dominant people with swords, although I don't know whether natural lefties were all trained to fight right handed. smile

If we buy handguns or any other kind of gun from a dealer, we have those 4473's--which the govt says they don't retain, but which dealers are required to retain. So it's not like there's not a record out there, somewhere, on most gun transfers in this country.
