“Patriots used to own cannons”
I had a cousin who owned a small cannon. He was popular (or not) with the neighbors on the 4th of July. He passed on about 12 years ago. I have no idea what became of the weapon.
Yeh, I used to work with a guy who owned several small cannons. He lived outside of town though, so the only thing usually bothered was the Bison that were grazing on land he rented out to the Bison Ranchers.
