You seem like a stand up guy, and I sure enjoyed Guns & Ammo from the late 1970s till just a few years ago (still occasionally pick one up), so it's good to have you on board here, but I just think you're on the wrong trail with this one point. But don't let me stop you from modifying your own speech.
