Muscatine

  Ya, I hear you Nedl!  I was never brought up to be a hunter.  My folks LOVED to fish.  So, in my early years, I was a fisherman.  Now have NO time, for any of it.  When in Viet Nam, was told that, IF you owned a gun, you need to be trained in how to use it BEFORE someone uses it on you!  And, it BETTER be LOADED, IF you intend on using it!  The problem is, as I see it, that IF guns are illegal, the only people who will turn them in, are the law abiding citizens.  Joe Blow criminal won't be turning HIS/HERS in.  We don't own a gun in THIS household, merely for the fact that there are WAY too many irresponsible people living here.  Even though, I HAVE thought about it several times.  Thank GOD that Muscatine doesn't warrant having to own a weapon just to defend your household!  For one thing, just look at the kids stealing their parents firearms to take to school and do whatever.  Safes are generally useless, because the kids know where the key is (even if they're not supposed to), AND, a locked up gun doesn't protect ANYONE!  I'm STILL wondering where you're getting these smiley faces that I can't seem to find!  IF you would send them to me in an email (roh2o@machlink.com), I'd appreciate it!  Thankx buddy, have a GREAT day!
