I took archery in middle school.  That was very enjoyable.  But I really
loved field hockey.  I was the goalie. My team was good, so I generally had
nothing to do.  A friend might come over and give me popcorn and a drink or
something.

We'd chat:

"Howz the game goin?"
"Don't know...can't see it from here."
"Well, that kinda means somthin right there, don'tchathink?"

That's not to say that they got too many past me when they were hanging out
at my end of the field.  Yes, once in a while, I actually picked up my stick
to play.  Mostly though, I ate popcorn.

Gun ownership is a 24/7 responsibility.  No exceptions, no excuses, and no
room for error.  I believe that gun control means using both hands, but I
also believe in training, training, training, and practice, practice,
practice.  Some people get their weapons training the way they get their fire
extinguisher training, that's what scares me.

It isn't the weapon that concerns me, it's the person who is in charge of it.
 There is no such thing as an accident.
