Bill,
Thanks a bunch for the explanation.
It all makes perfect sense now, knowing what you explained.
I am fine with the ties, but I can sure see cases where they would not be ideal.
I appreciate the kind response to my uneducated question!

Cecil, do you think you'll make it down to Texas in the Fall?

I think gun show operators nationwide have taken notice of OGCA's misfortune and their thoughtful response. We can't depend on every gun show attendee to exercise good judgement and safe gun handling skills. I think gun shows are safer today because their operators took a hard look at their safety rules and made improvements as a result of the OGCA incident. Like it or not gun shows won't happen without insurance. If we're going to welcome the public to our shows we need to assume they know nothing about basic gun safety. Common sense isn't something we can depend on today.

I most likely was pondering a deal... but that is nothing new!
  

There's no grass growing under you're feet my friend, I'm glad to see! Smile

In a way my wife bought my Henry.  I told her if she re did the recent re do of our kitchen I would buy a Henry. 
  

I have a feeling she came out waaaaaay ahead on that deal. Still a win-win in my book.

You are right.  She spent way more than I did. 
  

About 30 years ago I worked for a guy who spent over $20,000 on a kitchen remodel but he and his wife went out for dinner every night, neither of them cooked. Never could figure that one out.

She had some help with selection from my old friend Tommy Rholes. When I was tucking old Winchester levers she always supported me.

In my situation it gives protection to the poor little orphan who has decided to follow me home. For married guys' wives it's just an old gun case. In the wise words of Bear Claw "an elk doesn't know how many legs a horse has!"

As long as I work on things around the house, the bills are paid and her card works when she wants to buy something.   She has no idea what I have.  She doesn’t care.luckily the things she likes are cheaper than the things I like.

To some folks it's a sinister arsenal and to others it's a starter kit. I keep that number to myself because it's nobody's business. Besides I may miss one and hurt it's feelings. Guns can be funny about that sometimes, no sense in risking it!
