Notes: Written at home, in Lima, Peru, the morning time of 2-24-2008; the writer is a recovering alcoholic, have not drank for 24-years, and makes not advance imbibing in anyway, but recognizes there are those folks that can drink, perhaps sociably, but often it is not that manner (because everybody desires to state that), and hopes people will look at their drinking, if you cannot halt imbibing for a year, you got a problem, so the writer believes. Also he is a good shooter, have respective guns, and was in the Army for a decade. Shooting is a avocation for him, and so he wrote the study "Flintlock" again hoping folks take a expression at how they utilize their guns, and to be careful, as well as with their drinking. He believes in the 2nd Amendment, the right to transport arms, totally.
