It is a deadly dangerous killer.
More chance being maimed or killed by it than anything else.
Are you folk who are too scared to shoot Damascus guns still brave enough to drive ?
Even slowly or sensibly & safely ?
O.M

OM,
Some folks are so cautious they miss out on life. Back in Oct my 16 yr old and I were on a hunting trip in west Texas and we had the 4 wheelers. Our stand is about 2-1/2 mile back on the lease. After the evening hunt, we played "tag" in the dark all the way back to the camp house. Thru the canyons there are 400 ft almost vertical drops right off the road. It was invigorating for an old man to say the least. Quite the ride. When we got to the camp house, our hearts were racing, we were smiling and laughing.
It is a memory that will last my son his lifetime. Smart? Nope.
Living life? Yep!

My point? A 14yr old young man was climbing a tree at the church with his friend. 7-8 ft off the ground, he slipped and fell, broke his neck and is now in a wheelchair. That young man would give anything to be able to "ride the edge thru the canyon".

My son and I are going skydiving in Sept for his 17th birthday.
I did it when I was a young man, and it is a cherished memory to this day.

All damascus barrels? Dangerous? Your joking right? smile
I'm going to shoot some Herters 1oz factory in my new to me 16ga Sterly..the horror.

Im sure a lot of you remember the movie Heat.
