I have a couple of shot guns worth more than my truck I hunt the heck out of them but do wince when I have to lean them on a barb wire fence. Same with the rifles but I don't own any Royal Grade H&Hs or anything too fancy but several customs.

"When you disarm the people, you commence to offend them and show that you distrust them either through cowardice or lack of confidence, and both of these opinions generate hatred." Niccolo Machiavelli
