rennog: Slight difference in opinion here on owning weapons. As a country boy I was brought up with guns since I could manage to keep it from dragging in the dirt. During

our big depression here from 1929-1939 they kept meat on the table around here.

They were a tool and one cherishes good tools. Yes, I carried a M-1 rifle and later a

Thompson SMG in Infantry combat, Again, they were necessary tools of keeping alive.

And many times I cussed their weight and the weight of of the ammo carried. But, I

was not "turned off" by them. Fact is, after wars end a few of us "country boys" enjoyed our hunting in Germany while waiting to go home.. Our cooks also enjoyed

cooking up a company meal of German raebucks (deer) for the company after a hunt.

Fact is, even to this day I still shoot at our club range, and have a 40 ft. range in my

basement for handguns and light rifle shooting. Also do all my own reloading for rifles,

handguns, and shotguns. I have shot in competition till about 6 years ago and since

then just for enjoyment due to age. Hopefully enclosing a pic of some of my longuns.

The handguns I deep in a file cabinet mostly. I still find it a enjoyable hobby. Our laws

here are not too restrictive as yet. Joe
