Bill12 has been reading my blog and spotted a piece about why men prefer guns to women. It was sent to me by an 87 y/o mate from North Carolina. Bill suggested I post it here. The list is in reverse order:

#10 - You can trade an old 44 for a new 22.
#09 - You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.
#08 - If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.
#07 - Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.
#06 - Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.
#05 - A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.
#04 - Guns function normally every day of the month.
#03 - A gun doesn't ask, "Do these new grips make me look fat?"
#02 - A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.
And the Number One reason Why Men Prefer Guns over women.....
#01 - You can buy a silencer for a gun.
