Yeah Stan, Im jealous because I remember that Granpappy and Colt story from another thread a time or two ago, and your luck with ancestral 2nd generation relatives was a bit better than mine. However, its a good thing your Granpappy didnt end up using that Colt 6-shooter on his squatting bud or he may have ended up just like my paternal Granpappy who spent most of his life on Alcatraz, the rock in San Francisco Bay, where he got sent for murder (he said he didnt do it). My paternal grandmammy visited him about every 6 weeks but that was before they started allowing conjugal visits in prisons, so its really a miracle my daddy was even born. Turning to the other side of the family, my maternal Granpappy had a rather short turn on this earth because my maternal granmammy caught him in bed with his 21 year old girl friend and then took her Baby Brownings .25 ACP and popped them both. Luckily, that .25 ACP bullet was lead and not made outa Tungsten or my Mama would not have been here either. Granmammy got even though after my Mom was born because grandaddy, after his wound from the .25 healed, found another young girl, and this time granmammy used her .38 and shot Granpappy right between the eyes. Lead did the job and was plenty good enough in her .38!! I guess the moral of that story is go big or dont go at all, at least with lead in the ole pencil.

Socialism is almost the worst.
