You ever hunt SGL 249?

Back in the 80's, I was chasing groundhogs with my Marlin Mountie and as I was getting ready to leave, some hobo approached me and was very interested in my rifle and how much it was worth. He got a little to close for comfort, so while I had unloaded the magazine, I left a round in the chamber until I was in the car with the doors locked. I'm convinced he was going to make a grab for it. These days, I would also be packing a handgun, as my WV permit is also good in PA.


What fresh Hell is this?
