32. I'm glad nothing untoward happened

that time, but the premise that there are incorruptible gun owners who will always be of sound reasoning and in control is not one I subscribe to.
Even cops, retired cops, military men, and the best trained in firearms use have drug and alcohol issues, marital problems, bankruptcy, custody battles, and the every day erosion of well-being. Exhibits A and B.
