I was deleting old E-mails and I found this gem from 3 years ago.
A female from ABC radio interviewing Australian Major General Peter Cosgrove who is about to sponsor a boyscout troop visiting his Military Headquarters.
Female Interveiwer:
General Cosgrove, what things are you doing to teach these young boys when they visit your base?
General Cosgrove:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.
F.I.
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, is'nt it?
G.C.
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.
F.I.
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children.
G.C.
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.
F.I.
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.
G.C.
Well Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one are you?
The radio cast went silent for 46 seconds and when it returned, this interveiw was over.
I went into a farmhouse once years ago to get hunting permission. Old guy there was excited and had to show me his old 94 Winchester 32 Special. Action was closed so I cranked the lever open once in hand. To my astonishment a live round popped out onto the wood floor. I said "aint that a bit dangerous". His response was "what good is a gun if it aint dangerous"! True story

My great-uncle Jake had guns all over his house. at least 2 or 3 in every room. As a young boy I was told several times, "Every gun in this house is loaded and ready to fire." Jake used to say that, "if it wasn't loaded, it wasn't any good."
