You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don’t ever count on having both at once.

Well, I think we’ve seen a hatchet to a gun fight before, but I think I’ll include this in T2NB2AGF for additional reasons..
“Fight between relatives”.
Yeah…..look at the addresses. Unless they live WAAAYYY out in the “country mile” boonies, they live too damned close to each other. Relatives should live at least 5 miles apart from each other.
This “fight” is definitely going to put a crimp in future Thanksgiving, Christmas, and any other family gatherings.
“Relatives should live at least 5 miles apart from each other”
In different towns seperated by a river with the nearest
bridge 20 miles downstream.
Like a bridge over troubled relatives
Depends upon the nature of the family.
All our grandkids live/grew up where they could walk to our house by the time they were 5.
When we had the mentally unbalanced neighbor, we also had overlapping fields of fire.
Works for us.
Full disclosure: I do have a sister-in-law, whom I love, who lives in another state – and that is a good distance between us. Our personalities don’t mesh well.
Dear Mr Tello
Can you say, “oops, wrong house”?
I knew you could.
That is one sexy SxS!
SxSs with exposed hammers are my favorite type of scatter gun
Still miss my old Baikal coach gun.. hammers weren’t rxternal but I shot it better than any shotgun before or since. Two boxes of shells left me with a largeish shoulder bruise.
Shocker, but Mr. Tello had just been released the month prior from his service with the State of Texas for drunkenly running over a Lubbock Police Officer who lost a foot in the incident.

Double shocker. Mr. Sweeny was well known to be drunk, belligerent, assaultive and crazy. It would have been more surprising if he had NOT ended up shot and laying face down in a ditch.
