That’s how I got my Garand, which was sadly lost in a boating accident.

And just why was it, pray tell, that you had a gun out in a boat? Most people have fishing tackle in such a situation.

Hackneyed phrases, hackneyed phrases.

Militia training exercise. Had the Militia been prepared to meet the British at the water's edge, that whole Lexington and Concord thing might never have happened.

If I'm ever able get anymore guns, I intend to tie them to the boat. You just can't be too careful.
