Well, I have been known to freak at our arachnid friends also. :blush2:

Sounds like an Elephant moth, Misty.

You're very brave.

Invest in a 12 Gauge. You'll be fine.

Only in my own mind. :wink:

Make that a 10 Gauge.

Seriously, a 12 gauge is good for snakes and other garden pests.

Use a gas-operated automatic so's you don't get too much recoil.

I use an old Remington 1100 which cost me all of $10 as it 'didn't work'.

I just put in the missing parts and it was good as new.

They allow Mac to have a gun :roll:

I didnt think he was allowed even sharply pointed things where he lives :shock:

mistybear · « **Reply #24 on:** May 02, 2006, 13:22 »

Thats why he could only buy one that didn't work.

Mac · « **Reply #25 on:** May 02, 2006, 16:10 »

The man who sold it didn't know which two parts were missing. The two gas seal-rings.

Mac · « **Reply #26 on:** May 02, 2006, 16:43 »

That model is now US$775.99 so I got a pretty good deal, don't you think?

The two parts which were needed are just US$14.40 plus a rubber o-ring seal which you can find most anywhere.

Very resourceful Mac.

But why do you need a gun? Do you hunt or is it for protection?

Mac · « **Reply #28 on:** May 03, 2006, 11:55 »

Both Clive. Mostly for shooting in the field and for clay pigeon shooting in competition.

Another family member is a licensed firearms carrier which means that he is allowed to carry a concealed weapon, and he also has a 12 gauge riot gun with which to protect his business, as he is a jeweller.

I have had the police call on ocassion to see if I would lend them a weapon in an emergency, and a friend of mine in England was called upon, by the Police, to shoot a mad axe murderer many years ago as he was holding a woman hostage and threatening to kill her.

He used a rifle which he normally used for deer and shot the man through the rear window of the car he was using.

Now about the Apple Mac virii. Any progress on trapping the propagators of these things, or are we reduced to putting mothballs in our laptops?

I believe that they're small enough...

All the policemen carry guns, btw.
