I don’t think I missed the post wherein you defend firearm ownership because you are quaking in your boots and live in fear that somehow (a breakin ??? a beserker???? A lunatic on the loose????) is a threat to you. I’m not saying that the one in a jillion chance couldn’t happen, but if it did I have a certain degree of confidence
that you are not now, nor have you ever been all hat and no cattle. And, I can’t imagine you being concerned that your weapons match those of the local police department, the Idaho national guard, and the USMC. Some folks on this list apparently suffer from gun envy and that’s a disease that probably takes a whole of therapy to sort out. I don’t think that’s something you’ll be needing to spend money on.</span></div><div class="yiv1674256593MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div class="yiv1674256593MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:#1F497D;">Rose</span></div><div class="yiv1674256593MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri", "sans-serif";color:#1F497D;"> </span></div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF
