I make no judgements on the man's character...

the disposition of his soul, etc. That is over my pay grade, anyhow. Like many old gunmen I find him an interesting character and that alone is enough for me to crack open one of his books.

I carry a gun for a living, yet 99% of my shooting has been recreational and I enjoy that a lot. Still, myself and good number of you here carry for serious purposes and you can't sugar coat the fact that that means 'shooting people'. Say what you want about Askins... he reconciled himself with that and got in plenty of practice at it. I find his experiences a worthwhile study. Bet I can read the whole thing without putting a clothes-pin on my nose.

Thanks again Tony, for the opportunity.
