I already posted quite a bit on my life experienced so far. Not much left.
Nobody cares about your life experiences, really.
How about a simple: "I was wrong about no serial numbers being illegal. Thanks for educating me."
Trust me, it doesn't hurt. The first few times are the hardest while you retrain your ego after 83 years of pretending to be perfect, but you'll eventually find that people actually like you when you act human and can talk to them without being a blowhard.
I'm actually sincere when I say I appreciate your opinion. When you get to my station in life you question if you are thankful to still be alive ? My memory is faltering on me and I do make egregious mistakes. My vision is also failing slowly.
None the less as I amplified the serial number issue is one visited and defined to whit:
* Old missing serial numbers were not stamped on .22 rim fire and shot guns.
* Anyone who claims to own a center fire rifle manufactured by a reputable gun manufacturer, without a valid serial number, is simply a liar and a disingenuous fraud.
