I may be the last person on the planet to get a gun. I really don’t see it happening, but who’s to say what will be?
I recently moved to Augusta, Georgia, as a result of the end of my marriage, and let me say, it’s been quite an adjustment. Not just the part where I’m living alone, but the part wherein the neighbors next door have a thriving “cottage business” running out of their home that brings a steady stream of people stopping by at pretty much all hours of the day and night. There have been no shootings so far, but this is America, where everyone is packing heat, so I’m beginning to take it as a fact that most everyone around here is carrying something with lethal capabilities. I can’t decide if I should feel less safe or more.
I found these images of guns, and they are certainly works of art. I doubt they’ve spent much time up in a backyard deer stand or tucked into someone’s waistband but I imagine they can kill just as well as the plain ones. I hope never to find out.
