three things i learned not to do with my brand new stevens model 94c single shot 410, in the summer of '54, while roaming the swamps on the north shore of the altamaha river, north of jessup, ga...

- wounded a possum by shooting it with bird shot...fortunately a wild hog caught it and ate it, so it did not have to suffer to long due to my stupidity...

- while wading in knee deep water, tripped and jammed about four inches of the barrel of my stevens into the mud and decided to clean out the mud by shooting it out, which, peeled the barrel back like a banana...my dad cut it off with a hacksaw, squared it with a file and replaced the bead...good as new, except for no choke and a four inch shorter barrel...

- decided i now had a quail gun and so proceeded shoot into a covey at night on the ground...as i was using sixes, i managed to kill two...upon hearing this news, my dad took away my ammo, but still let me sleep with my 410, until he could teach me right from wrong...

later, traded the 410 for another gun ...wonder where that little stevens is now?

How have you missed this Keith.
The beginning of a boys career in firearms modification.

Not a thing as long as I can drive to McKean County PA and see it like it was in 1984 when I first started hunting up there.

Nothing has changed after decades, not a thing except maybe the trees got a little taller. I reset my clock each Thanksgiving when I go there to hunt.

Great catch Moses! I was wondering more along the lines of how the experiences related by King Brown and Ed Good turned them into anti-2nd Amendment trolls who support anti-gun politicians like Obama and Bloomberg. I guess if I had a heart attack at a young age after quitting my job with a wife and young children to support, I might be unjustifiably inclined to expect others to pay for my health care. But that still wouldn't make it anything except Socialist Wealth Redistribution and an involuntary confiscation of other people's earnings. Ain't it disgusting how the same people who want to take away our gun rights also want to take away a large percentage of our earnings too? Tax my earnings to buy the votes of others on the dole, and you have stolen hours from my life... little different than slave holders.

What could be more immoral and uncivil? Some memories we only wish we could forget.



Too bad the wild hog didn't catch and eat Ed... to save us all from his stupidity.
