Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids. I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city. Drive a hybrid, I need your gas. Your mind is your primary weapon. Never let it get rusty.

Will you base your decision on popularity or what you have actually tested? To me, the most fun part of buying a gun is finding it's sweet spots.

Wes, that's a very political and unbiased. I agree Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.
