Well, my first mail order gun was a Reminton rolling block .43 Spanish from Hunter Arms I paid $9.50 for and it arrived via Railway Express. And I couldn't have been more than 15 years old. No questions asked or needed back then. Does this qualify me as an old f--t?

And this was when no self respecting farm or ranch kid would think of showing up at school without a shotgun or rifle in the pickup's gun rack and a darned sharp knife in his pocket. Ah, me.....what we've lost!



John McCain is my war hero.
