Modern firearms and the collapse of heroism
#25
RE: Modern firearms and the collapse of heroism
I live(d) in the US plains/sandhills. Guns were (and still are) a tool for food and protection, not a means of killing people. Most of mine now (in my old age) are used as big boy toys.

Could you face a mountain lion (cougar), bear, coyote, or rabid skunk/racoon with nothing more than you hands. My guess is that you'd pick up a gun in a heart beat if available.

And as some have indicated prevviously, I donate for care of the indigent to the only non-religious facility and don't consider myself a hero. No guns needed.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
