Hong Kong ?? Don't have to go there. I just had lunch and I found in my kitchen a young snake about 1/4" dia and 12" long !! I should have taken a photo ! Too small to eat so I returned him outside .

Sorry, I had dinner last night with a woman (boss and his wife) who is both militantly anti gun and anti hunting. Of couse she had the gall to spew her rhetoric around mouthfuls of rare steak. How these people can't see the irony of their actions is beyond me. People in this country are getting too far removed from the process of raising and harvesting food.

Don't appoligize.. I can totally sympathize!

Wife had a very good friend over a couple of weeks ago. She started in with that crap and I sat very quietly and listened, then my wife asked her to leave!

Neither of us had any idea of her feelings about hunting and firearms ownership. When she asked my wife if she would ever do anything as stupid as owning a gun, my wife said: "Oh I would never own A gun.. It's always better to have a backup!"

SNAKES:
We went to college in Southern New Mexico (NMSU.. Go Aggies!) I hunted a great deal of Dove, quail, rabbits, and the ocassional rattle snake. One day I came home with a couple rabbits, and 2 rattle snakes. I was running late for class, so I put the rabbits (cleaned) in a ziplock, and the snakes (not cleaned yet) in a grocery bag in the fridge, and hauled my butt to class.

Wife came home before I did, found the grocery bag in the fridge and thought I had purchased some special treat for her from the store. Upon opening the bag, and seeing to rattle snakes coiled up inside (dead), she screamed, and threw them across the room..

I still get grief for that one!

I was at a wake last year in Manhattan. I was talking with the 12 year old son of the deceased trying to take his mind off his mom's death. I was telling him about my different firearms, how they worked, and inviting him out to go shooting in the summer. Some Manhattan lady lawyer overheard me, and it went like this...

LL (In disbelief): "You have guns?!"

Q (Subdued): "Why yes, yes I do."

LL (Indignant, raising her voice): "WELL I AM A-N-T-I-G-U-N!!!"

Q (Softly with a smile and a wink): "Well lady...I'm anti-people...and that's why I have guns."

It was a precious moment. You had to be there. And it was all in the delivery. She started laughing.

I am of the opinion that these people are clueless to the dangers we face, and your right, we have strayed to far from the path of self-sufficiency. I am convinced that -- as soon as the barbarians are near -- they will be panicing, demanding, screaming the loudest for blood letting. Let's see what happens when survival truly becomes an issue. I believe the "civilization" will melt away revealing the savage. Right quick.
