Guns

[Hell Puppy]

All true southern men are raised with guns...

GonZo and I were bullshitting and talking about this just the other day. Think about how different some movies would be if they were shot in the south.

Signs -- We wouldn't be hiding in the basement. We'd be figuring out how to fry the critters after we shot 'em.

Panic Room -- If she were southern, when Jodie Foster ran into that little Panic Room, you'd wanna get the hell out of Dodge before she came back out because she'd come out strapped like Sigourney Weaver at the end of Aliens.

As for myself I was taught to respect guns from the time I was a toddler. And was shooting them from the time I was old enough to safely handle them. My dad was old old school, so I had to learn the hard way. First thing I learned to shoot was a muzzle loader. Had to work my way up to the modern stuff. Thru my teens I went shooting almost every week when the weather was warm, and hunting when the weather was cold.

I still like the shooting part. I'm not so much into the hunting. I'd rather go to the butcher or a good steakhouse than sit in a tree freezing my ass off.
