You are not the only one whose life did not turn out as envisioned. However in my case, I'm the only one responsible.
I still haven't got a cap and ball revolver but have enjoyed reading this thread almost as much as I imagine I'd enjoy cleaning one - make that "shooting" one.
It is probably time to acquire one anyway. The fear of gun bans is suspended for now, but the idea that one can purchase the ingredients for black powder at any garden store is comforting. Need to find out (or look up, or just remember - because I'm sure I knew at one time) what is in percussion caps, and learn to make that, too.
