my .02.

the anology I use when my buds say I am crazy for taking my 20 Ga Fox Upgrade hunting.

I ask them , if you were married to say, Catherine Zeta Jones or Kim Bassinger, would you put her in the corner every night and go to bed alone because she is too pretty to use????

guns are made to be used.
on the other hand, I am as careful as I can reasonably be with any gun I take afield. Regardless of its pedigree, I am not pounding fence posts with it.
