That’s nothing. I just walked in the door after shooting a possum in the chicken coop. CCI Stingers are good lead pollution.

They drank a beer, ate a corndog, smoked a cigarette and just keeled over.

At least they died happy.

.22 shorts, a classic. The very first self contained cartridge ever. Introduced by Smith & Wesson in the late 1850s during the cap and ball, muzzle loading era.

No need in my neck of the woods. Gunfire around here is as common as bird songs. Once in a while, somebody hereabouts even rips off with what sounds like automatic fire.

It’s a great place to live.
