In a world where many of us are hopelessly romantic, count me just plain hopeless.
Having managed to enjoy a variety of handguns, both revolvers and semiautomatics, and being permanently associated with the .41 Magnum Model 57 Smith & Wesson, there are moments when I just can’t resist strapping on a single-action sixgun and heading into the High Lonesome. This time of year, with big blue skies, lush green vegetation, magnificent timber and no smoke from wildfires fouling the air just yet, walking the land above 5,000 feet includes a full cartridge belt and something in a holster that requires thumb cocking for every shot. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
