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?

Mine are a "Pre Remington" Marlin Guide Gun with Scout Scope and big loop lever and a Beretta Stampede Marshall .45 with a 4" Barrel and a birdhead grip.
revolver and lever action? seriously? man, what a huge waste of time, money and effort. if your shit isn't magazine fed, you are just asking to be killed.
Ed Stevenson was a famous Alaskan guide whose preferred rifles were all big bore lever guns. He lived in Brown Bear country and died of natural causes at 89 years old.
We were shooting a cowboy match one day, and the local SWAT team came up behind us, waiting their turn at the range. One soopergenius opined "I thought you guys were shooting single action. That guy's got a semi-auto!" Cowboy bystanders: "Look again." Chastened SWAT cop watching senior citizen shooting a pair of Rugers like machine guns: "Holy sh*t! I hope you guys are on our side."
You meet a guy who shoots old timey guns, and he's shooting at you, run. He probably knows exactly what he's doing.
I present to you a rifle chambered in the 45-70, God's Own Cartridge.
ReplyDeleteIn a moment of facepalm-worthy stupidity, I sold mine.
