“An Armed Society Is a Polite Society” 2
Once again, a polite society is a clean society.
How stupid do you have to be to clean a gun without checking that it’s loaded?
Pretty damn stupid, and there’s a lot of that going around.
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

My great grandfather’s younger brother was a Confederate soldier who was mortally wounded, even before any battles, by a comrade who was cleaning a loaded firearm.

Oh, my. What a goddamned waste. Regardless of the color of his uniform, what a goddamned waste.
I had family that wore the grey, but I cannot tell the individual fates of any of them, except for one, who was an historical figure.
I may have some information somewhere. Like many Southern families, we had maiden aunts (at least, we thought they were “maiden” aunts) who did family histories . . .
