8-)My grandfather was the Chief of Police of a small North Carolina town named Garner. i was just shy of two years old, and my grandma was watching me while my mom was having my brother . Grandpa came home for lunch, and, not being used to having a baby around, followed his usual habit and dropped his gunbelt on the chair in the living room as he came in. My first really clear memory in this lifetime is what happened a few minutes later, as my grandma, grandpa, and aunt (mom's younger sister) were quite perturbed when the visiting toddler came into the kitchen, grandpa's Colt .38 Police Special firmly grasped in my two little hands. Perhaps it was because the adults got so excited about it is why i remember it so well. :oThe love affair with pistols has been ongoing ever since. i believe i've found my area of expertise on this website. Currently i own 13 pistols. .45 Long Colt is my favorite calibre. It goes without saying that i am an excellent marksman with either hand. (No brag, just fact.) Going to gun shows is one of my favorite pastimes, and i'm very familiar with guns in general, both antique and modern. If you need to know about guns, i'm your man. This is something that probably wasn't well known about me as a Jedi, since "slug-throwers" are often treated with a certain disdain, thanks to Obi-wan. But not by this Jedi-i like 'em!

I recently added a handgun to my arsenal, one which I had diligently sought for the last ten years..a LeMat percussion revolver. Highly favoured by Confederate cavalry, particularly J.E.B. Stuart, the LeMat is a double barreled over-and-under, the upper barrel and cylinder being a nine shot .44 calibre, and the lower a single shot .65 calibre shotgun. The one I found is a reproduction made by Pietta in Italy, and is in absolutely perfect condition.

Even as a reproduction, that's a handy gun to have around.
