Steve, & Ron,
And that is what becomes of people -- most especially
enquiring minds -- who in their rather innocent, somewhat
benighted ventures, when they are deprived of knowledge.
Who can say with a certainty, that with the ready knowledge,
proper stewardship of a trained mentor, and less onerous laws,
that the young man in question might not still be alive and well
this day?
Why is the price of ignorance so easy to pay, and the
advantage of knowledge so hard to understand?

The one I saw had been seized in Handsworth. The police
apparently think there are illicit factories churning out these
things, although the case with the derringers is the only one
I recall on a major scale.
Steve.
