Yeah, I was being a bit facetious there. Don't really want to extend this thread any more, or get into a firearm flamewar, but personally, I think carrying a gun or keeping them in one's house for "protection" ~increases~ one's chance of being harmed by guns - by either your own gun or a bad-guy's. Don't really want to say much more than that, and if anyone chooses to differ with me or argue the point, please do it off-list so as not to bother other nice Pentaxians. ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
