Personally, I’m a bit distressed by some of the thoughtlessly negative remarks that the gun generated. It's so easy to be critical when you're looking down from that lofty tower and to forget, or not realize, that not everyone has the good life that you have. In my view, that gun meant some clever person, who couldn’t otherwise afford a shotgun, was able to patch one together to protect and feed his family. Yes it’s not “pretty”, but I doubt if the original owner had “pretty” on his mind when he built it. More likely he was concerned with feeding his family, a noble endeavor by anyone's standards.
