Some prefer to have more. <br /><br />When you consider that my fantasy is simply to buy out a Snap-On truck and put the tools in my garage, it's easy to take the leap from there to my love of other tools.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-56237797996866132942016-01-12T09:02:28.789-08:002016-01-12T09:02:28.789-08:00Appleseed's a very good idea, Brighid.

But a .357 Magnum? Yes, please. LL recommends the Colt Python; pricey, though. In the meanwhile, I make do with a Glock 21.LSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120630078039958644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-47598321696628301132016-01-12T08:38:18.923-08:002016-01-12T08:38:18.923-08:00Love my Ruger 22LR.

I can shoot that thing all day for less than the cost of one box of Hornady CD. <br />You and the boys are going to have fun! There should be an Appleseed class near you, sign the boys up. They'll get in some good shoot'n and history at the same time.Brighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299215170393879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-49976103181776265262016-01-12T07:41:34.638-08:002016-01-12T07:41:34.638-08:00Reverend: I am guessing you own about a gazillion ...Reverend: I am guessing you own about a gazillion guns. I'll bet keeping them clean calls for a lot of elbow grease.<br /><br />I, too, am a gun owner. But I own ONE gun. A nice, little .357 magnum Taurus revolver. I clean it about once a year, just to keep the rust off of it. It has never been fired. With God's Grace, it never will be fired. I built a secret mechanism that only I and one other guy (a relative) knows about, and when activated it produces this gun for my immediate use. One would have to demolish my house to find it. It is loaded with hollow points, all six cylinders, and has no safety. <br /><br />Obviously, it is for the protection of my family only. I have no use for target practice - I was active duty army for over a decade, and you don't forget how to point a locked and loaded gun at a bad guy from 10 or 15 feet. Like riding a bicycle, there's no need to think whether there is a bullet in the chamber (there is), whether the safety is off (it is), whether a magazine has been inserted (no magazines with revolvers). I can brainlessly grab this gun, point it at the bad guy and pull the trigger (it's double action) and be 100% confident that I will have a dead bad guy after the dust settles, no glitches or any of that.<br /><br />But that's just me. Owning a zillion guns will achieve the same goal: dead bad guys.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-8291585201219369012016-01-11T19:37:55.863-08:002016-01-11T19:37:55.863-08:00That's exactly what I was thinking.That's exactly what I was thinking.LSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120630078039958644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3407817413258733695.post-11872073419985039452016-01-11T19:33:02.484-08:002016-01-11T19:33:02.484-08:00I'm sure that you'll love it.
Good choice...I'm sure that you'll love it.<br /><br />Good choice. And when your boys come to visit they won't break the bank by firing it to their heart's content.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
