At Christmas met one of the daughter’s neighbors who is 94, lives by himself and is a Korean War vet. He figures he outlived most if not all of his enemies, and is quite the character, but said he ‘was’ concerned about ‘those damn kids’ and potential for problems. Knowing he’s getting older, he downgraded from a 12GA to a 20GA and #4 buck just to make sure he could handle the shotty.
When I showed him this pic, he burst out laughing…
And said it’s too bad he couldn’t get that on the end of the barrel on the 20GA…
Something tells me he’s NOT an old fart one wants to mess with…
h/t JP for the pic
#4 20 gauge is respectable. I recommend the neighborhood treat the man politely.
I like it!
Maybe a flash suppressor or choke add-on could boast the engraving.
But really, the bore says it all.
Sounds like a good neighbor! I found it interesting that he “self evaluated” and made adjustments to insure he can stay lethal to threats . . . sounds like a determined man. I like it!
+1 Bill.
Opus- Yep, I sure would!
Rev- Yep!
Ed- LOL, that IS an option!
Bill/WSF- That he is, and the shotty is a backup/night gun if he can’t get to his glasses and 1911…
That is the thing about us old ones. We don’t have the strength or dexterity to go one on one with the punk. For our own health, shoot the fucker. Less stress and strength.
From that perspective it looks like a railroad tunnel…

CP/Rick- Point!
Tim- Doesn’t it though! 🙂
