I think I'm supposed to be upset at that.  I'll be upset if they are improperly stored loaded guns... otherwise, welcome to my world!</p>

<p>My son grew up in a house with guns.  Lots of 'em.  And not one shot was fired in the house!  Whew!  Dodged a bullet there, eh?  Just dumb luck, I'm sure.</p>

<p>I originally started blogging about guns and gun collecting.  Of course, when I saw all the people who did that so much better than I, I switched to politics.  Boy, was that a bad idea.  So, I drifted into general military stuff.</p>

<p>But by golly, it's been too long since the collection made an appearance!</p>

<p><img src="http://www.fototime.com/065A385D92337E9/standard.jpg" border=0 alt="Hosting provided by FotoTime"></p>

<p>So, how about the pistols?</p>

<p><img src="http://www.fototime.com/32045A91AA1BC8D/standard.jpg" border=0 alt="Hosting provided by FotoTime"></p>

<p>There.  I feel better now.  Except, I need to add a new one!</p>]]>

        My first thought when I saw the headline about 1.7 million children live in homes with a gun was that that&apos;s 1.7 million kids who don&apos;t have to worry about kidnappers or Michael Jackson.

        I love pistals, but, I like to be able to fire all my guns in one trip to the range.  You couldn&apos;t shoot all those in a week of sundays!  When You have more guns around than you can shoot in one day, you have a problem.  I am not a liberal, or a pinko, (I am a libertarian) but might I suggest a corrective surgery on your dick instead of all these substitutes? LOL.  Nice collection, but too many pistols.

        A man and his family can never have enough guns. Kids need to qualify on at least one and familiarize with the rest. And of course learn how to clean, and care for these jewels!

But most importantly they need to be comfortable with and understand how to tell the difference tween a toy and a weapon and what one never plays with. Those who fail to teach their tykes, do so at their peril.

        Neffi - no, it&apos;s a Spanish Army Astra, in 9mm Largo.

And Boq - that Webley .25 was captured from a German officer in Normandy, who was also carrying the Steyr pistol (which is Austrian miltary, not one of the SA or Police issues).

And he&apos;d taken the Webley from a prisoner at Dieppe.
