Haha almost busted a gut. [:D]
I always liked reading the account of when the Hessians serving under Burgoyne surrendered at the close of his New York campaign. Certain Hessian officers were offended that the rebels had rudely sent their "servants" out to accept the British/Hessian surrender, and were more offended and confused by the fact that the "servants" were allowed to possess and carry firearms.
Sad that now so many of the "servants" are so willing to surrender not only their own right to possess and carry, but mine as well.
