Let it be known that some of your Diesel Truck owning friends do commute via bicycle and the .50 cal. truck is happily waiting in the gun safe (driveway) until it is needed. You're not going to tow a boat, utility trailer, or yank somebody out of a snow covered ditch using a Schwinn. --Tad JonesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-198843833237575122.post-65594894630248662002009-03-19T10:54:00.000-06:002009-03-19T10:54:00.000-06:00Gee, I thought you'd be taking the train of though...Gee, I thought you'd be taking the train of thought somewhere more like this: http://tinyurl.com/ce93jy That should keep SUVs from cutting you off, right? I must admit, now I really want to witness someone using a .50 Cal. to hunt whistle pigs - way too expensive, but a great spectator sport!
