My family hardly knew what to do with me many years ago when I joined the NRA and touted the individual right to bear arms. I don't preach anymore, but am more solid, if that were possible, for our rights. Handloading, gun safety, the beauty of worksmanship and satisfaction of a hand load accurate at a given range are all a joy that few of my former friends could possibly understand. Yeah, I lost some friends.
I say with the strongest voice possible the only weapon next to firearms that I give a damn about are these wonderful KHUKURIS. If "D" day ever arrived I would have a rifle, handgun, and khukuri at my side. It often replaces the handgun as travel companion on trail or road. So, if you are a 'pusher', I guess I am too. I've told people, infected my friend Ibear and others, and hope to spread the disease.
I wouldn't do that if they weren't just so darn fine.
