Now several self-appointed Campfire consciences have been rebuking me for NOT having named certain confidential sources and for NOT having repeated here what they told me in confidence.
It seems to me that openly critisizing a main line product is career suicide to a gun writer. Weatherby spends a bunch of money on advertising and probably would be pissed at a writer, and the magazine he works for, for such a disclosure. Then other manufactures, knowing what happened, would follow suit. They are not going to send a sample of a gun to a writer who they know has no problem calling junk, junk. That's why gun articles today are basically worthless.
If I got information from someone inside the industry who's job could be comprimised by disclosing the source, I wouldn't give up the name either. Sources have to be protected.

The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.
