I accept that, as I respect your State and the great "Live Free or Die Motto" as well.I am the only son and grandson, I have 3 younger sisters, all good Catholic grammar school girls that I am sure, as Billy Joel said- "started too late".. No barefoot and pregnant scenario, we only had as many gals as we could provide for, as I wanted them to have a more liberal education and upbringing than I saw my sisters enduring. Being the only son, and also the eldest of 4 children, I was a lot closer to my father and grandfather-they both were machinists, shot Model 12's, and lived to hunt and fish, after work was done. My sisters were all "sheltered" by Catholic guilt- I was always testing the boundaries, so to speak. But I do tend to live in the past, when you could go to Corrant & Howe and buy a used Model 12 20 gauge, with a case and two boxes of Peters paper hulls in the snazzy yellow and blue trimmed mallard logo box, with three hard-earned $20's, and get change back- no 4473 form BS either. Aaaah Yess, as W.C.Fields used to say--


"The field is the touchstone of the man"..
