Come on now, get serious, its YOUR web page is'nt it? :-) As a fan of satire, I think its way overdone in spots but overwise ok. I told a relative of mine who is veamently anti-gun the address, and she tried it, and she was steamed when she saw it! (said things like some NRA wacko is making fun of the anti-gun movement, blah blah etc) The funny thing was, she didnt realize it was'nt really a real anti-gun site till she saw the remarks in the sign! --- FMail 1.02 * Origin: CyberSupport Hq/Co.A PRN/SURV/FIDO+ (602)231-9377 (1:114/428) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 275 GUNS Ref: DB500018 Date: 07/03/96 From: PAUL NIXON Time: 06:29pm \/To: NOLAN PENNEY (Read 1 times) Subj: Nra vote NP> No dictionary in my office contains the word vett or vetting.

Minor variation/expansion on what the rest of us call the Isosceles Stance. Seems to work much better then Weaver stance for shooters who are (1) under stress and (2) don't practice very much. See Ayoob's book, "In The Gravest Extreme". He discusses the technique at some length there. --- Maximus 3.01 * Origin: Land of the Misfit's Toys (1:397/57) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 275 GUNS Ref: DBA00001 Date: 07/04/96 From: JOHN DONOHUE Time: 12:11am \/To: DAN ARICO (Read 1 times) Subj: famous quotes GP> ...
