Yes, I certainly did. Thanks -- and thanks for the kind words about
_TPB_.

Hi Neil and others,

BTW,

I wasn't making a derogatory remark by pointing out that the Moon 
Family owned PMC and Kahr firearms.  On the contrary I think the 
opposite is true.  Aside from their theology which is neither here 
nor there (If you ask me every religion is weird and whacked out) , 
you'd be hard pressed to find a more pro-gun, anti-communist religion 
anywhere.  Neil is right about the Kahr, I have two friends who carry 
them around, one in .40 and the other in 9mm.  Both swear by them. 
I've shot the .40 and if I couldn't conceal my Beretta 92FS I'd buy 
one.  And I have to agree that "The Washington Times" is one of the 
best, if not the best newspaper, that presents our POV.

Regards,  Matt-

Tom --

I'm forced to concede that the Moonies do some good things. The
_Washington Post_ is one of the best papers in the country, _Insight_ is
actually interesting, and the Kahr K9 is one of the best weapons I've
ever owned.

I haven't used PMC ammo for years, because I can't find it where I am.
But I shot thousands of rounds of it in competition when it first
arrived on the scene, and it was everything a competitor could desire,
accurate, reliable, and clean.

I suppose, in the spirit of the story Milton Friedman tells about "The
Pencil" that this is all I'm entitled to ask of people whose lives and
values are different from mine. I'm not terribly consistent in this
respect. I buy Chinese ammo and would probably break down and buy a
Japanese SUV if I could afford it. And my choice, instead, to buy an
American SUV, is just as bad in its way.
