  9. I always like Col. Coopers' take: In any "accidental discharge" the first question to ask is "Whose finger was on the trigger?"

  10. Thank you for posting this vividly historic illustration by Charles Dye.

    Regardless of the alleged mishandling of a firearm, it's still a sufficiently excellent example of an Old West scene, that I've downloaded it into my computer's hard drive, placing it in my "ART" folder, and sharing it on the Internet at the FLICKR web site, the GAB web site, the USA LIFE web site, and on my FACEBOOK page.
