If it got hot enough for the barrel to bend, is the action any good?

A couple years ago, on the way to my place in WV, there was an auction taking place in a big field. A bunch of burnt guns, some of the barrels looked like some kind of fuzz was in them, almost fuzzed closed. Don't know if it was some kind of chemical extinguisher or what. Some of the furniture was burnt. I couldn't see a house anywhere, thought the stuff was brought in from a house fire. Then I heard some old timers talking about how it was such a shame the way the little girl died. Then I looked up on the hill, and behind a bunch of trees I could see what was left of the house. Then I knew where I was and got so creeped out I left. A man and wife got divorced. The husband got custody of the baby. That must say something about the mother. They both remarried. Then the mother was po'ed about the husband getting custody, so she did one of those, "If I can't have the baby, neither can you things". The mother, her new husband, and 14 year old step daughter, broke into the house and killed the father, his new wife, and the little girl. Then set the house on fire to hide it. They got caught.

Yikes!! Hanging is too good for people like that. Maybe cooped up in a tiny cell for the rest of your life being terrorized by some really warped people might be enough of a punishment but I doubt it.

The thing that got me was I can see one crazy woman, but she got her 14 year old step daughter and new husband to go in with her. There wasn't a lot in the paper on it. It did say the step daughter went to the local school.

I had a school friend who got himself kilt, by listening to a crazy women who wanted to break into her ex-husband's house... Three people died that day too. He was always a bit adventurous but never crazy, until he got himself around some real crazy...

There but by the grace of God... I fear we might all be teetering close to some edge, that just a shift in the wind could tip us over.

If you don't know the difference between right and wrong, you won't know the difference between left and right, and with each turn you have a 50/50 chance of making the wrong choice.

I liked the Montana 22HP dug out of a river bar better, but to each his own. That HP probably got left there by the dude that shot the grizzly with it.
