Here at the GB Forums, having been part of so much history (one guy owes Moses a couple of bucks), we like posts about historical guns.

What tha? A gun topic in General Discussion on this gun forum? You must be new here.
Yes, this is allowed and encouraged.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Great story. I think I still have Askins's book, I bought and read it a long time ago. He was a "Man With The Bark On" a rough tough hard man. He was a border patrol man back when the border was secure. He worked with Bill Jorden I think. I seem to remember they averaged a gunfight every seventeen days for a period of time.
