During my life I’ve been responsible for hundreds, if not thousands of weapons, and the safety of persons handling them in live fire conditions. I have the greatest possible respect for them and what they are capable of doing. I have no respect for persons who do not maintain them or handle them properly.
I maintain my own proficiency with a .357 magnum revolver safely stored by a brother. The revolver I use was kept loaded constantly since I was 5 years old, but safely stored in a place no one touched in a home used eventually to house 7 children.
As you would expect I am most concerned with the safety of gun owners and their families, and have no use for firearms kept purely as luxury items. I choose to keep the people I love in a clean and healthful environment, and therefore have no weapons around my house.
I no longer hunt, but when I did I practiced fair chase. I’m not interested in answering your Montana Shooting Sports Association questionnaire, but have no doubt you’ll find many who will. However I can offer you the story of Custer’s Pistol, which you’ll find included in my last book, Gonzo Road Show Diary.
Respectfully,
John B Driscoll
