I like the 92 year old guy .....
1st - If I am alive at that age....
2nd - I can walk at that age!
3rd - shoot a rifle still!
and last and more importantly ......AIM and hit the target. 1S1K
See - these stories are what NEEDS to be printed in papers and make HEAD line news....
not the crazies using guns.....the smart gun owners - DOING THE RIGHT THING!

As i get older and become more surrounded by newcomers in my quite rural community, the crime rate seems to be climbing.three rifles with easy access and a growing lack of trust of strangers i like to think im somewhat prepared.
Every law abiding citizen should be encouraged to own firearms, not discouraged.
If someone or something endangers the well-being of my family i will take action to defend them.
Its common to have black bears wandering around my yard, usually at night and they go by unnoticed. Except for the piles of fertilizer left on the lawn.

It's getting bad all over. Been working this week just outside San Antonio tx. Noticed most places have razor wire around there buisiness. Happened to ask the manager of the hotel when I got in Sunday if he had a spot that I could back my service truck in by the building. I had both of my shop boxes wrapped in tarps in the bed of the truck, and the lower box was too tall to be able to close and lock the lid on the bed. Manager actually cleared out 3 parking spots, and kept vigil on my truck over night He came running out at 6 am when I was pretripping the truck to make sure it was me They are gonna get a good revue when I check out

Cutting hay one day in the fall, 2 canadian refugees decided to have a shootout with 2 armed Canadian escapees. Road was closed, when I was on the way home, police road block, so I ended up going through a neighbor's farm road, to get home. Checked all the farm buildings out, and as I went about my chores, with a 1911 .45 colt in my belt. Cops came up the drive and asked If I'd seen anything, told them no, and no I wasn't worried. They said OK suit yourself. Cut and raked hay armed with the same gun with me. Went to bed, that night, and I heard a car crunching gravel in the driveway, and the lights went on down by the garage, dead quiet, middle of the night, I was pretty sure it was a cop in a plain brown wrapper sitting out there, so I slid the screen up, and with the lights out, racked a shell in the 870 wingmaster pump. Cop lit up his blues, and waved, and I went back to sleep.
Something mighty re-assuring about just the sound of a round being racked, in that old 870, on a calm silent summer night...

I was house sitting for my grandparents on there farm in my early 20's. They lived on top of a mountain on a dead end road. Woke up to carlights flashing through my bedroom window around 3am. Got up and watched some people eyeing the old sugar house where the bota was stored. They pulled up further and turned around so they were facing down the road. Two guys got out, one headed for the garage attached to the house, the other headed the other direction towards the sugar house. Slid my old Ithaca 20 gauge out the bedroom window and touched off a round into the air
took them boys about 3.5 seconds to get back in the car and gone

"touched off a round into the air"
mmmmm........my aim might have been toward the front tire......
then they have two choices "A" or "B" they leave the car or drive it out - either way I would be getting dressed and reloading!
