I don't need it.  And besides, I'd be a lousy gunman anyway.

I don't need it for two reasons.

Number one, everybody around me is armed, so why should I worry?

Number two, I have the handy-dandy 1-3/8" S/K adjustable wrench, which can be deadly if I want it to be.

It always cracks me up that when I summon someone here in the middle of the night, they get out of their truck packing heat.

Coach, I've got mixed feelings on this one.  While I also think that one needs to stay within their abilities on these things, there's a saying about bringing a knife to a gunfight.  I'd submit that one could substitute the word (and object) wrench for knife, and it would mean the same.

Dutch is right.

Oh, absolutely.

A friend in the big city--a crippled guy who refuses to board the social security disability gravy-train and who instead owns a gun-shop to make a living (and he makes a good living, too)--tried for like three months, twice a week, to teach me to use a gun.

It's just not my thing; I don't have the patience to slowly take aim and fire
.  If I had my way, I'd just as soon grab the barrel of a gun and club the malicious being into unconsciousness.

As I said, a 1-3/8" S/K adjustable wrench in these hands can be a deadly weapon, either as a club or as a flying object.

Best for one to use a tool that matches one's skill.

Then you need "The Judge"...just point it in the general direction and fire.

Perfer the 3" shells...had a single action 45 cal back in the 60's that would shoot the 2 1/2" shells...can't remember who made it....had to change cylinders to shoot the .410 shells.

I've looked at a few the .410 pistols and so far I haven't seen one that suited me.

Would like a slightly longer barrel and longer grip for my big hands.

That's it. 

Just because I find a gun all but useless for me to use, doesn't mean other people find it useless for them.

There ain't no way in Hell I'd outlaw guns owned by anybody I know.

This is why I had been hoping the anti-gun nut the iverglas primitive, had been a top primitive for 2011, as I had half-written an awesome award for her, about the real reason she's against self-defense.

But that'll have to wait until she gets elected as a top primitive, which I hope to God is this year.
Tease!!

And an S/K at that.  Hurry, someone get the man to a Snap-on truck.  He's flirting with disaster.

Be honest coach, you never expect having to use the wrench because that pride of cats you have will take anyone down first.
