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.

A rare first edition of Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind” used to conceal a .32-caliber pistol. A 1907 Savage, to be exact. 10 shots quick.
We have a large fake book with “Peace, Love and Honor “ in large letters on the cover that conceals a S&W 65-3 with 4 “ barrel sitting on the front entry table that’s always handy when answering the door..:)
Sadly, there are many that are all too happy to ban both. Apparently, even a fictional reference to the Civil War, slavery, and the existence of firearms for personal defense ,is an outrage - because they understand nothing of history.

ReplyDeleteI had the sense that in his later works it was possible to conceal an M2 50cal
Deletepassed on several, regretfully.
ReplyDeletethe .45 was the grail.
I had rather see the Bible used instead of Gone With The Wind - From a GA boy.
