    Yes Swift I did receive and read it. I apppreiate you sending it to me and I hope you received my money order in return. I was surprised and pleased with the book. It is a most unusual book regarding the subject and the other elements surrounding the violent Criminal Gary Gilmore from Utah and his crime spree (It is interesting that you knew him). I feel very well informed by all the background details, newspaper articles, legal and court info, your struggle with the BATF, etc. I had never thought about it much, but I do believe that it is/was HIGHLY unusual for the government/FBI/etc. to return a gun, especially a handgun, that had been used in heinous crimes and later as evidence in court, having that firearm returned to its orignial owners. I doubt that will EVER happen again. I was also attracted by that "Win $100,000.00" plan of yours.

    I'm thinking if I keep the copy of your book (thanks for signing it) along with any videos, newsarticles, etc. regardding the Gary Gilmore crime spree, if I keep all that as a package, sometime in the future it might become especially valuable as a "collector's item". The icing on the cake for this plan would be if I could pay you to provide me with a certified empty fired .22 case from the gun and maybe even a recovered bullet. I think all that would make a good "collector's item" package.
