#2 What made the kid think he's an expert in anything?

According to Wikipedia, Mikhail Kalashnikov began his career as a weapon designer in 1941, while recuperating from a shoulder wound, which he received during the Battle of Bryansk. Kalashnikov himself stated..."I was in the hospital, and a soldier in the bed beside me asked: ‘Why do our soldiers have only one rifle for two or three of our men, when the Germans have automatics?’ So I designed one. I was a soldier, and I created a machine gun for a soldier. It was called an Avtomat Kalashnikova, the automatic weapon of Kalashnikov—AK—and it carried the date of its first manufacture, 1947."

#3 Mrs Rabbit set me on a quest today. Find her a small 22 to carry.

Sometimes I do enjoy a honey-do.

We are now the happy owners of a Ruger SR22 (or does it own us?).

She happy.

I happy.

Have a great New Year.

#6 Also want to add that according to my local gun store peeps there was excellent business in handgun sales this Christmas season. Not so much for AR style firearms and their ammo.
