Your point LTS is well taken the bad guys will use anything no matter what it is ... and yes growing up a hunter and a fisherman in the woods we learned respect for the tool before we learned to ride a bike for sure.   

My gripe is we have somewhere around 10000 firearm laws, and they are only respected by the law abiding.   Go to any city block and you can see the bulges out of the pants of the gun carrying gangs and that is a felony but yet I don't see police squads coming in to clean out the law breakers ... sad actually why anyone feels the need to have to carry a weapon ... and even sader for those who don't when they are faced with what I had ... so I don't carry unless I am going someplace where the tool maybe needed and pray that is never is. I only go into the city when I have to ... country life is for this country olddude

knocking holes in targets is the only wish I could have if life were simple and people respected the lives of others.

by the way, I caught a ton of fish ... way high in the rockies this past weekend ... outstanding ... and Mike is correct grizzly bears still roam ...
