The other day on the way into town we saw a man walking with what appeared to be a shotgun. As we drew past him it turned out to be several short lengths of copper pipe about 18 inches long that had been taped together to make them easy to carry. that was in a peaceful island setting had it been a shotgun the few seconds it took us to pass him could have been the difference between life and death. A peaceful setting with time to think not in a city that had just been bombed a day or so previous.
