FROM MY EMAIL: a thought on guns.

Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Stevens 320 (a shotgun) right in the doorway.

I gave it 5 shells and left it alone and went about my business.

While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the trash man picked up the trash, a girl walked her dog down the street, and quite a few of my neighbors drove past the house.

After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there, right where I had left it. It hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been presented with to do so.

In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself!

You can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how dangerous guns are and how they kill people.

Either the media is wrong, and it is the misuse of guns by PEOPLE that kills people, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in the world.

I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat....
