My deepest gratitude to all you guys. This is the BEST forum there is. People like us are rare today. You should all be proud of yourselves for carrying on the traditions and sharing the wealth of knowledge you have.
As many of you know most of my old friends died and I am basically alone and thought I didn't have any friends close by. Well I was wrong. Many of you live far away, but you are all close to me in spirit.
I am greatfull to have such great friends.
Notice to you in-liners. There is hope for you so don't dispair. :haha: We will help you all we can. Remember that I too was an in-liner before I was saved and reborn through the influence of some very odd, unusual, strange, homely, but loving and friendly guys here. :applause: ::
Got flint? Slow match? Cannon? I gotta have a cannon.
I think I'm hooked.
Oh, by the way the lady I'm dating is a mental health professional. She has never been around guns, not ever. She watched me shoot a muzzle loader and concluded that there is something extremely addictive about the sport. She wants one of her own. :applause: :applause:
I think she also wants and engagement ring, so I bought her a Smith .38 instead. :shocking: Oh, oh, mighta been safer buying the ring??????? ::
 
so I bought her a Smith .38 instead

The gift that keeps on giving!

I gave my new bride a single-shot .357 Mag T/C Contender. I figured I had a better chance of slipping away while she re-loaded if the first shot was hasty.

Now if we can get Moosketman a brain and me some courage we can leave.

On second thought, I 've been to Kansas. Let's stick around and tear this place up instead. G'night, 'ya big lug.
 
Maxi, ya just never know who yer real friends are until ya need them. As for the .38 Smith to your Lady friend, ya might be safe fer a while until she learns ta shoot it. By then ya might better have her that ring. :: :: Take care.
 
Thanks for the replys fellas.
'Bout the girlfriend. She might be a keeper.
She was interested to know why a person would want such "old fashioned" firearms and I explained, or tried to, about the tradition thing, the romance of days gone by, the fine lines of any front stuffer especially a handmade one and tried to explain what a ronnyvous was.
Odd thing is that she was interested in the ronnyvous, the period clothing, arms, way of life and so on. She wants to go to one. Seems it struck her fancy and she wants to participate. She even borrowed my Dixie catalog to see the period clothing they sell.
Stumpy, I like your thinking about the single shot pistol. At least you have a running chance if she misses with the 1st shot. :haha:
Reb. You might be right about her learning to shoot the Smith and MAKE me buy the ring. :redface: :shocking:
Stumpy, we can fix you up with some courage, but getting Mooketman a brain?????...well that's a tough one! ::
 
Reminds me of the time friends of the family had a marital dispute. Seems he was steppin out on the side and she caught him with his girlfriend in an oyster bar in New Orleans. This is what was said, just before they took her to central lockup:

She hysterically said, "I only meant to scare him..."

The Officer responded, "But, lady, you shot him five times through the heart!"

Its been my experience many women don't need much training when they are acting on instinct and adrenaline.

Then there was the time my buddy's wife actually started shooting competition. Seems this range bully was harassing her, because she would sit and watch quietly as her husband blasted away in competition. Having heard enough, she picked up the bully's .45 long slide and proceed to clear the table of bowling pins in the wink of an eye. Seems the bully scraped his chin when his jaw hit the ground. :haha: :haha:
 
Maxi, I feel the same way about you and the great fellows at this site. I do not have a computer at home and I can't wait till I come into my office to check out the lastest posts. It just doesn't get any better than this. You are right in that we are a dieing breed, it can be seen more and more each day in peoples attitudes. If that girl is that interested in this goofy hobby of ours you better get her while you can, they don't come along that often. Pretty much everyone I talk to about my hobby wants to get me mental help :eek:not that I don't need it :eek:. As for the Smithy........I don't know :winking:
 
Yup, there's some perty "odd" folks hereabouts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
