I personally don't have any guns, swore off them 30 some years ago
but most have or know as I someone who does. Check out the damage that bird shot will do at 90 or so feet. See if it jives with what we are being told. Myself practically born with a gun in my hand, being poor, country and we have to eat you know. I don't buy the official story, period. It was rather cold relatively speaking for that neck of the woods. More than likely the victim was wearing something that at the very least resembled a coat. No, today, I'm being lied to again.

1. I am in the same boat with you
Tossed my last gun in the East River about 12 years ago.

The whole thing stinks.

2. A little OT Madokie
But I was up near Durant a week or so ago and was amazed at the fire damage.
I saw 3-4 houses that were burned to the ground.
Are you all getting any rain?
And getting back on topic, I don't believe the story either.
I fucking guarantee that if it were you or me we would be under the jail by now.

6. Mayes county was I think one of the first to have the fires, we lost
something like 20 plus homes but we have been spared for the most part since then, Wish I hadn't of said that. It's like close to a mile between me and hyway 412 with knee deep grass most of the way with us to the north. The wind almost always comes from the south here. We are under an extreme fire danger, that's what the weather man said a little while ago. dryer'en a popcorn fart around here. Back on topic, this story we are being fed has changed more time's than I have to go to the bathroom in a days time and I am getting older.
My old okie ass is smelling a rat.

3. Guns bore me to tears now, however I did enjoy shooting them
on a competitive level a number of years ago.

This guy wasn't "peppered", his face is likely missing, and I'll bet that if he lives he'll be plenty pissed at all the people who laughed off this "peppering".

Of course, if he shows up smiling and chewing gum tomorrow then I'll be wrong, but I have no reason to believe he will.

4. I agree..
... you don't get shot in your vital organs when you are "peppered".

5. Still have my guns. However,
All of them are sitting in storage gathering dust. I used to hunt deer in New England, but my interest in hunting has dropped off. I really don't have much interest in the activity any more. Maybe I should consider selling them. No real point in keeping firearms that you don't intend to use. The guns aren't collectors guns either, not really worth anything.

7. Not advocating no guns, just saying I don't have any. Keep them I might
be needing to borrow one in the near future. I'm not sure now that we aren't living during a 'coup'
