Even worse, I spent a lot of time, to my parents’ great chagrin, trying to figure out how to make black powder and I even built a fully firing, with match heads as propellant, civil war cannon. Before the Tragic Boating Accident I owned a number of guns (won’t say what some of them were), do have a CCW permit, and drive around in a Lincoln Navigator taht I use to tow a boat. I’m definitely anti-socal.
Southern California definitely isn’t all it’s made up to be.
