Probably much better that you found other outlets for your talents. I don't want the burden of carrying a weapon. I don't have any problem with other people if they elect to do so. One crime with a gun, and you lose the right to possess it for life. Seems a very fair position to me. There are a lot of crazy people out there, but again for me its simple, just let the chips fall where they may. I think I might get a little nuts if I had kids to think about. One of the biggest reasons I don't (er besides not having a permanent women right now -g-) have kids is I'm not sure I have a lifetime of protection services in me. I respect those that do have kids, and try to do it well. It strange, but all my friends seem to have great kids. Still I see the level of energy, commitment, and concern that goes into that job everyday (and NO vacations or sick days). Not sure its in me. What type of bullet do you recommend? Mine are just plain round nosed bullets. I am pretty sure I could get most any kind....as I live near Detroit -g- (and sad to say, I not really joking). I have both magazines fully loaded, and they have been that way for years. I have not checked the springs, as the original loading I did 9-10 years ago is still the first load I have ever done with the gun. Note: I just checked them and those springs are very firm. There is a bunch of dust on the bullets in the loose mag, but I am going to dust those off now. CO is a killer. That is how my Granddad died. I never got to meet the dood as it was before I was born. So you still have seven lives left right? HAGO TH
