Ballvalve, I was thinking of you yesterday watching a ski movie. This was in Utah, and they would take their guns and skis up to the mountains and if the weather was too bad for skiing, they would shoot the crap out of everything they could see. One of the guys had an assault rifle. We were laughing pretty good in the theater.
Thanks for the thought, but no assault rifles for me, and the greatest respect when using any sort of them. For the people around and the enviroment. My shoot em up days ended years ago when as a kid dad caught us shooting a treeful of sparrows - made us pluck, cook and eat them all. I might shoot a quail once a year nowadays, but I have always been repulsed about kiling an animal larger than myself, and especially by those that kill them for a 'mount'. Hogs and sausages are another story.
And hardly a chance to break a leg when target practicing.
Lest you consider me a wildman, my real hobby is antiquarian book collecting, 1500's and forward. Heavy on mining history and techniques. I'll try and post a picture of my library. Built everything you see too, except the sofa.
