Of Wives and Guns

Prof Young · October 17, 2021, 05:50 PM

Forum Brothers and Sisters:

I interred my beloved Carol Ann's ashes today. When we first met I was not a shooter or hunter. I inherited two nice long arms from her father. One thing lead to another. Now I have a couple safes full of guns, a life time membership at the local shooting range, a mountain of reloading equipment and components and I hunt just about everything one can hunt around here. She lovingly tolerated every moment.

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Proverbs 31:10

My condolences, Sir. I have been there before you, and I have some understanding of what you must be feeling.

Sorry to catch this so late, Prof Young. You're a solid contributor, here. For that, I'm ashamed to say I missed your thread in the very forum I'm assigned.

My condolences. Many people in this world don't understand the connection we have with firearms and loved ones.
