I’ve dealt with hundreds of companies in the fishing, hunting and shooting industries since becoming a full-time outdoor writer in 2005. My favorite of all of them is Henry Repeating Arms of Bayonne, New Jersey.
I’ve had a fascination with Henry lever-guns since 1985, when I saw the movie “Silverado” for the first time. Mal Johnson (played by Danny Glover) asking those bad guys “Do you know what a Henry rifle can do in the hands of someone who knows how to use it?” gave me goosebumps back then, and it still does today. |

| Danny Glover isn't a friend of free Americans, but I love that quote too. It's one of my Top 3 movie lines. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
