What I like is that it might be able to educate people who have an interest but don't actually have a piece yet. I was raised in California (foothills, Patrick can describe the area) where most everyone learned gun safety and many got their first guns by the 4th and 5th grade. In all my time living there I can't recall a single shooting. The problems always arise when children have not been brought up around guns and never taught safety. When these kids become teens they acquire a piece never having the proper respect and that is where the problem lies. It infuriates me when people go nuts saying guns kill and keeping guns away from children, teach them gun safety and dont let them have a gun until they can show enough responsibility.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to offer a small informal talk to people interested in acquiring weapons in their future? That way somebody can have the knowledge before they buy rather than trying to teach them after. Some place like PiP where there will be many people, I don't mind helping organize something or even suppling a few different arms that can be used to show differences (I won't have a musket though unless something special happens) in the arms as well as safety devices in weapons. I am no person to give a talk though. A small get together might also be beneficial for those who have bought/brought weapons and want to learn more about what they have. CS

Aye thanks for the offer and ill take ye up on it but Im a gonna have ta drink the fine drink later and it be doin bad things with ma pain medication.

Im laid up but hope to be on my feet and hobbling around by the fourth. Ive got a couple charges rolled and plan on rolling quite a few more. I plan on taking my cannon out and making some noise, if Im on land maybe I can convince my buddy who has the same piece to join me. Both are little bronze guns using the Viceroy's pattern with a 1 inch bore and make a nice bang.

What a discourgement, I read "sexy accents" and was thinking clothing accents. However, on the "other" topic of accents I have none. Coming from California the "accent" is just plain english which when I was living in Spain for a summer I got complemented on many times as an American (they assumed most Americans don't have accents) as my english was much simpler to understand than most of the other english speaking tourists mainly from England and Australia. I think the entire time I was there I only came across a couple Americans and they happened to be on a boat as well and my neighbor living a mere 20 miles away. 2 boats, 1 has a home port od P.R. and the other Grand Cayman. Turns out they were both from the keys. Now how about those sexy "clothing" accents?

I thought if you got 3 wounds you were dead and that there was rainfall everyday providing enough water to drink.

Ill take one for my birthday how about that
