Ed Harris wrote a good article about single shot 12s, worth anybody's consideration.<br /><br />http://www.hensleygibbs.com/edharris/articles/Single-Barrel_Shotgun.htm<br /><br />I own a couple of 'Farmers Friends', they aren't fancy and recoil is pretty stout with full power 12 gauge. But tbey are durable as hell - a very good gun to press into a new shooter's hand because training to use it is very easy and simple for anyone to understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-15492469350648704902017-01-26T14:55:05.840-08:002017-01-26T14:55:05.840-08:00Good point.

But when things get bad does anyone think someone in Texas is going to give two hoots for someone in Maine? <br /><br />The other day whilst making a delivery for my business (50 odd miles) I was thinking how that sort of distance for most people in todays society would be unfathomable to travel without using a motor vehicle (train / car / bus / motorbike). So what about longer distances? <br /><br />I'm in Australia and Perth to Sydney is 2,400 miles. That may as well be on the other side of the planet. There's no way should modern transport fail that aid will flow from one state to another.<br /><br />Some people will point out that these large nations existed prior to motorised transport. And that is correct. However those nations were filled with citizens of a higher caliber than today whom shared similar values. Todays nation state is a mish mash of people and religions held together by the threat of violence and the fact they don't have to fight for survival Dingonoreply@blogger.com
