Paw, since my allergies are all in my head....little tiny mashed up onions don't trouble me much. If I SEE them, well that's another story.

To get back to guns. Had a huge amount of fun target shooting, and proved pretty good at it. I just think that droppin' a deer (or squirrel, or fieldmouse) would make me feel rotten....well maybe not the mouse.

Have to admit though, if I DID own a firearm, I'm not sure I could be trusted to show restraint if we were being vandalised. Could I shoot someone (and not go to jail) who was torturing a dog or cat? In a heartbeat. Would I follow a superior's orders in a war situation and kill someone who wasn't trying to kill me at that moment? Seriously doubt it. No matter what the consequences. Yup, I think I'm a bit too weird to be trusted with a gun.
