And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
My granddad had an Iver Johnson in .32 S&W that he carried in his hip pocket in the oil fields from about 1900 to 1945. I think it had an owl's head on the handle. I sort of wish now that I hadn't given it to my cousin.
Got a beautiful, little Hopkins & Allen Safety Police in .32 S&W that a friend was going to take to one of those useless buy back programs for his FIL. Looks like it was not fired much, if at all. I really hate to see pieces of history like that get destroyed for no good reason.......
My grandfathers S&W .38spl he carried as a cowboy in the thirties is now my granddaughters. Made in 1929 and she shoots it like a champ. She is due with her first and promised me in ten or twelve years she will pass it on.
Love those little break-opens!
