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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
